which head bolts
Have a 371 iron using 243's milled.010. Compression i was told would be 11.3 to 1. Would stock gm bolts be alright on this setup? Or should i go w/the arp's. Tryin to conserve where i can n thats $100 difference just in the head bolts.

So no tq angle on the arps? Just tq down in sequence and roll in? Whats the tq specs on the arp pro series? I know they're different than stock bolts. Also my machinist told me to tq my arp rod bolts to 40foot lbs. This correct? Stock lq9 rods.

The ARP rod bolts actually should be tightened and measured using a rod bolt stretch gauge but with My ARP sportsman rod bolts I added to the torque until I detected a little stretch which was at 58 lb./ft . And in a thread in this section a few weeks back a person said that to torque without measuring length You torqued them to 75lb./ft. . Personally I would'nt go that high on those bolts and also the rods need to be honed bringing them round again . As far as the head bolts ,,,,,,yes ARP's probably will have more clamping force and You may have a bolt hole or 2 strip out and will need to be repaired ,,,,,,,,,no milling won't be a problem for bolt length ,,,,,,,,,,,,for a torque spec on ARP's head bolts ,,,,,I don't know exactly but they would be higher than the figure You mentioned ,,,,,,,,more like 70-80lb./ft. ,,,, specs will be provided with the bolts.
