Just checked the part#; he got the right kit. Thought at first he got the late kit with all same size bolts.

Yeah, I could see that happening. I'm thinking he put them in without realizing there were a couple short ones in each head.
5.3 - the kit comes with 4 shorter bolts. Look at what you have left to determine how many you have used already and start taking bolts out until you find them. Then start over with your torque procedure.

If you got the right kit for the engine you have the threads will be JUST RIGHT!
You will have 8 long bolts, 2 short bolts, and 5 smaller bolts for the top row. ARP does not mess things like that up. Your mechanic might have mixed the bolts up. He must not work on many LS engines.
