So the heads are off and at a shop being planed down to 2 hundredths to clean up and bump up compression a bit
I would like to keep the engine looking as original as possible. How does one know if existing head bolts are ok to use again? Engine has 95k miles on it and one previous rebuild prior to now.
Also I removed the heads with the exhaust manifolds still on them as per the Pontiac manual but have since removed them for the head work. Is it easier to install them once heads are back on the block or reinstall heads/exhaust manifold as one unit? Car is a 71 GTO with PS and AC for reference
Thanks
