Do LT1s and regular small blocks use the same head bolts. Summit only shows head bolts for gen Is and LSX engines, nothing for gen IIs.

 

Yes

 

thank you very much

 

do you have iron heads of aluminum. Differant head bolts for aluminum

 

Just some advice my machinist gave me about head bolts... I got the ARP bolts, and he told me to clean them real good, then use a wire brush on a bench grinder on the threads. He said the threads are too sharp and smooth when new that no matter what kind of thread sealer you use, they will leak.

 

i never heard of this has anybody else

 

I've used the ARP bolts on 5 builds so far, no leaking problem so far.
