I would get the 134-3701 over the 134-3601 because the 12 point heads makes it easier to crank on them than the hex when you have limited space under the cowl area.

Your going to want both of these for installing the head bolts....one of for the head bolts that touch coolant and the other you want to put on all the head bolts to get more accurate torque readings etc. I also used the assembly lube for the manifold as well. You do not however want to use it on rotating components like a camshaft etc. etc.

Hahaha true let them deal with it lol. But whoever may be doing the install themself like I did, the 12 points make it a little easier and I would recommend.
