Well, Iâ??ll tell ya..Iâ??ve always drained a bit of water and done all the 
head bolts. Two years ago at the track a friend had the cotter pin holding the 
rockers on break (cotter pin for that assembly - thereâ??s a top 10 stupid 
design). I loaned him a new assembly to bolt on. I was ridiculed by some for 
suggesting he do all the bolts and he only did those holding the rocker 
pedestals. He has since failed head gaskets every hour of run time or so, and 
is now convinced the head is cracked somewhere. 

If I short cut ANYTHING on our cars it always bites me. Iâ??m just not that 
lucky and thereâ??s no margin in any of the designs on our cars with the 
exception of the rear hub bearing which we used at work on the Abrams M1A1 
tank. 

Ymmv.
