question for people using aftermarket head bolts?

[Mach 1]

Dan,

Its going to be awhile before my engine goes back together. Im having valve spring shim problems. I ordered some spring seat discs from comp. cams, but they will have to be machined down to fit my heads.

By that time, you should be all done with yours. Were you going to use the factory bolt in that location?

If you figure an alternative mount point, let me know. Let me know what you do eithier way.

NO SLO PK- you might want to take a look at those edelbrock head valve spring shims you have, and make sure you dont have the same problem as I did. If I didnt happen to stumble upon it, they probably eventually would have ate through the shims entirely and into the soft aluminum head, and then I would have really been in trouble.
