I didn't measure, but I don't think these were that far down the hole. If I had to guess, I'd say max of a spark plug gap.... .035 ?? I used Fel Pro Head gaskets 9898.
Here is the booger - I ordered new head bolts got small block chivy bolts :BangHead: I always re-used the head bolts on LA's, but they say on magnum's you should buy new???? Anyone know any different ???

I hadn't heard that. We did use new head bolts on Matt;s for 2 reasons.
1. A couple of his were rounded.
2. When he got his block and R/T heads the guy gave him a new set.

That being said, I had to redo the heads on the 03 truck my brother gave me after he blew a head gasket. I never even thought of using new bolts. Did that in December and is fine. It may let go tomorrow, but it is fine today!
