on my invoice it says under Description

"AFR 185 60cc Chamber, Petestal Mount, Complete*NOTE* REQUIRES HEAD BOLT BUSHING ARP P#200-8598)

ARE THESE A SPECIAL KINDA HEAD BOLTS OR SOMETHING !

It's a bushing that goes in the head. The heads are set up to use a 1/2" bolt and the 302 block uses a 7/16" bolt so one needs a bushing to go in the holes.

This is very common. I have to use the bushings with my Canfields as well.

This Happens to alot of people, why they can't send the proper hardware with the heads after you pay all that money is beyond me. You need the spacer for the head bolts. I have hear of some guys going to a chase pitken or any hardware store to get a bushing but I don't recomend doing that, i would just order the right bushing from ARP.

Better yet, get the "stepped" ARP head bolts made just for that application. Also get the ARP thread sealer for the bolts that extend into the water jackets and the ARP thread lube for proper torque wrench technique.
