Yeah, no kidding. Sometimes my neighbors will stop by when I'm out working in the garage and say something like "hey, see you working on the truck again, you must really like working on cars and stuff, huh? How would you like to do a brake job on my Taurus or (insert crappy car name here)? I'll even buy the parts!" Then I have to apologize and tell them sorry, but I don't have enough time to do my own stuff as it is. :roll:

The ARP head stud kit requires you to either cut down the rocker or clearance your valve cover.
You must bottom tap the holes also to get full stud penetration...

Per there instruction..

All I did was bottom tap and they went in perfect. No other milling or cutting required, I was surprised because I heard everywhere that all the other stuff HAD to be done. Maybe I got a special short set. LOL

How did the cam effect spool, did it reduce your EGT's, doen it run or sound different? Come on spill your guts! When I changed mine it was a world of difference.
