Message	Its really one thing after the other. So I had some help getting my engine assembled "correctly". He was finished with the main part so I was going to torque down all of the head bolts. Well he had already got them ratcheted down snug before he left a week or so ago. So I go in to start taking them out and realize one is what appears to be cross threaded on the end of the bolt? Then I realize. Not all of the F*cking head bolts are the same length. Of course the service manual doesn't mention this, that would make too much sense. SO my question is: Where do the short head bolts go? Don't bash me too much, I am in distress once again. Brock Brock '90 300zx N/A coupe Converting to Twin Turbo!
