thanks for the feedback.
how do you go about "setting the head" when there is so much slop. when you say setting the head do you mean just centralizing all the bolt holes that go thorough the head-gasket-block by installing like you said the modified bolts and then removing them for the new bolts/studs. that way everything is mostly where it needs to be and all bolts are aligned correctly? i assume in the factory they must have had a jig so that this could not be done incorrectly.
If i remove the head i will measure the clearance and order an appropriate gasket to suit.
