Head gasket getting oval?

Since you have ARP bolts (not studs), the length could be longer than than the combo of head and washer thickness. As someone mentioned above about bolt bottoming out. I would check the bolt run down into block threads all the way then measure head thickness & washer to compare. That way the bolt would torque but not clamp the head.

Damnnnnn i just measured and you are sooo right, i threaded the bolts down the head, i had 3,307" on the longer upper bolt and 0,866" at the lower bolt, everything is measured from head gasket to under the washer bolts!

When i measured the head i had 3,46" clearance and at the under side 0,944" !

:wack:

Edit: Sorry guys now i was thinking wrong, like it is its correct because the threads of the bolts not touches the block fully
