#54755, "Head Bolt Questions"




          

Where (and the price) should I get new head bolts? Also, did they update them yet so you don't have to shave down that right most rear bolt for it to seat right? If not, should I just use a dremel to shave them, and how much?

If you want stock replacement bolts, then get them at a Dodge dealer. They really are not much money. Or, if you got the cash, you can get a nice set of ARP head studs, directly from ARP for around 120 bucks. If you use the stock bolts, you still need to shave down about 1/ 16" from the end. From what i have heard, this was only a concern on 95-96 blocks, but it never hurts to play it safe. A bench grinder works great to shave it down. Or use a file. Be careful so the threads are still ok. You may want to get a die that fits to make sure..

Shave down 1/16" from just the driver side rear bolt or from all of them?

No, just on the driver rear bolt

To install those head studs, do you just finger tighten the stud into the shortblock and then then torque the nuts w/ the head on?
