My '88 Chev V-10 Suburban has a 5.7L TBI engine that needs a valve job. I am willing to try and replace the old heads, but am stumped by the descriptions I've seen on-line. What is the casting number? I don't know what mine are. Also what is a 2-bolt vs. 4-bolt main? Thanks.
 
casting number- is the same as say a model number, for heads it's usually under the valve cover. engine block, sb chevy on the back of the block pass side I believe.

2 bolt v. 4 bolt - number of bolts used to hold the main bearings, 2 or 4.
