I am going to pull the heads for the first time to do a valve job. I used ARP's and they are in Edelbrock RPM Performer heads (alum). Do I need to replace these head bolts? I have a # 7 cyl. down 25%. All of the others checked good on the leak down I did on a warm motor. The heads had a full port and polished by Chapion Marine in FL. The heads had 236 hours. The hyd. rollers have 361 hours.
With just pulling the heads should I replace anything else while I have the heads off? The cam is a Crane 1391741 Hyd roller with about 625 lift. I do a lot of cruising in the 2500 to 3000 range and WOT is just in short spurts. Change oil every 25 hours.
Thanks for any help, Mike

sorry #7 cyl was leaking on the exhaust from the leak down I did last fall.

Hey Mike,try asking this in the gear head section.I personally would change the head bolts,they probably will be ok but I always go alittle overbored on things like that.This way I dont worry about it in the back of my mind!!! :D
