You don't have to replace head bolts on a GEN I small block.

Thought I did too. But they didn't say arp.
Oh well they weren't that much. And just extra assurance.
Plus that means I don't need to clean the bolt water jacket sealer off the old ones lol.

I actually ordered the head bolts thinking I'd run the aluminum heads. And these are what were recommended for those.
So you didn't have them whack them at all?

Clear coat turns yellow on engine... Just fyi
We will see how hi temp primer and aluminum enamel work out....

Hey, something to make timing a little easier. Take a paint pen and make a good solid line at Tdc both on the balancer and the pointer.
Just makes it pop a little bit easier.

Pretty shiny! You'll be happy you jetted it up. More power 
also the fact you can reliably set timing is great also.

Thats how I got the red into the scratch line I made on the marker. I think i will do that to the balancer too.
Nice job
Looks good sir.
