ok here is an update and some more questions
I taled to a machine shop and he said that he needs the block to be tore down to a bare short block, so the heads need to come off and the accessories.
now the thing is that I have arp bolts and I really dont want to take those out again, they were a pain to put on.
also I want to know if I can reuse the same head gaskets. they are brand new, but can they be reused....
thanks again
