ARP's or stock bolts
Going to put some 243 heads on my 2000 A4 vette, and was curious about head bolts. It will be N/A only with no spray with 64cc chambers. Should I go with ARP's or stock GM bolts. I will not being pulling the heads for quite awhile I hope. Let me know what you think.

ARP's. Once you get the holes cleaned out then there is never a question about the holding force. I remember when I did some reasearch that there were quite a few reports of water leaks and such from the improper use of GM bolts. It's hard the really get the threads in the block clean and if you dont get the holes dry then coolant or debris in the hole will mess up the installation. The ARP's were so easy, and you will feel so much more confident with them.
