    Glad you got it out.....buying a complete set of bolts is much better than having to replace the block.(y)

    Yeah, had me worried for a while there. They always break off just below the deck, so it is a beast to get out. Been running for 4yrs with the repair, so I guess it was ok. Take care,

    So, I assume that aluminum heads need to be retorqued like the intakes?
