the late heads require a 5mm spacer to be fitted under the normal washer as the head is slimmer, meaning the nut would bottom out on the thread before full torque is achieved

out of curiosity, what is the torque figure for the ARP bolts vs the OE bolts?
well stock bolts are usually done with angles after an initial 18 lb/ft but can also be done in stages up to 75 lb/ft if using a cometic gasket, whereas the head studs will go up to 80 lb/ft, but the torque will be more accurately applied
