If I were to pull the stnls pump bolts, leave the permatex on them but apply some anti sieze over that would I then be using perma sieze? No, but seriously folks, instead of taking the heads to the neighbor's place and laying them on his ultra flat surface, here's a thought....How about I set a couple of postage stamp size pieces of shim stock or mylar on the deck at the end of each head, midway top to bottom, put a headbolt in each corner with a light spring under the bolt head, hand tighten and go around with a feeler gauge? We know the block was just decked. I think this should tell me what I need to know. Oh and I wolfed down a sandwich and installed the intake and pan during my lunch hour.
