Looks to me like it's just on the surface of the cam gear, not the bolts themselves, prolly for a better torque reading (ARP cam bolts maybe?).

Nice pics Chris. Looks even better up close though.

The hardest part of the whole engine swap is not doing everything by myself, its WAITING FOR PARTS or ordering them local!! I have to wait until next thursday to receive all my stuff so I can put it all together.
I call NAPA for a rear main seal and they're like $57. So I say no I dont want the whole cover just the seal. I say that is absolutely ridiculous your not reading it right look again. HE says thats what it says. I say think about it man. $57 for a rubber seal? That just doesnt make sense. Your looking at the book wrong. He says no thats how much it is. I hang up. I call my local dealer for an ls6 valley cover. They want $85 for it. I'm like I can order it online and have it overnighted for less. It was $55 from Beans.
Foking NAPA has a few old guys that think they know it all off the top of their head. This same guy took 45 minutes to find my U bolts and u joint and then couldnt find them on the shelf. Finaly one other guy seeing my pain asks him if he needs help. He says if stuff was put away right he could find it. The helper finds it in 3 seconds. I seriously wanted to tell the guy he needs to find a field somwhere and count the daisys because he is useless behind a counter.
I just want to finish putting my car back to ******* gether.
sorry for the rant
