Message	*Important FYI - For anyone installing OEM head bolts during engine reassembly it is important to note that the head bolt washers are tapered and can be put on upside down. For most this may be common knowledge but for me I did not notice until I had issues with torque. On higher horsepower applications this can have a devastating effect as improper installation results in the head bolt not properly seating. ALSO, not mentioned are the two of sixteen shorter head bolts. If you are not careful you may accidentally use long bolts in the short holes causing them to bottom out and appear to take torque. PLEASE update the Tech Page!
