Just like the title says. I just bolted some heads down and I am suspect of one head possibly being warped. I thought it was getting hung up some on the dowls but I need to recheck it for peace of mind. Can I reuse the same bolts since they have never been heat cycled? I usually use ARP bolts and have never ran into this problem before, hense the dumb question.

Thanks guys. I guess this car is going to sit in my garage for another two days. I use ARP's but I can't dictate what the customer buys. Plus this car is supposed to be as stock looking as possible from all angles.
Randy. What kind of power on motor are you making? I just screwed together a 416. Our set up's are actually not that similar but I would like to know how your combo does compared to mine.
