Glad to see you finally finally got those bolts sorted RB, they were a true test of patience.

Well I've got one side done but am back at the same point with the other 2 now - although I've sorted my welder out so at least I can weld a bolt/nut onto it this time.

It has ARP head studs.
So am I right in saying that all I really need to do is to replace the head gasket, get the head and block surfaces machined and then put it back together??
