You're fine with the head bolts. Put 5k ish on my 370 with arp bolts so far and I spin it to ~6500ish and do stupid shit all the time when I drive it. Just torque them correctly and you'll be fine.

Also, a tip Eddie gave me on the rocker arm bolts. A little dab on blue loctite on each one for peace of mind. He said he found a couple of. His backed out after a few k miles after being torqued properly.

Can't wait for startup. Gonna be sweet!

Yes, I used loctite where applicable.

I know the head bolts are fine now. But future mods include a hairdryer.

I shall. I made a small mistake last night - so I have to fix it. But I have more parts to install and a new oil pan should be here this week.

The reason why I haven't done anything is cuz the valve covers weren't flat. I could slide a credit card between the head and sealing surface of the valve cover on one end after tightening the bolts. I'm having them ground flat and should have them back today.
