Afr head stud problem
Im building a 406 sbc with afr heads with comp double valve spring the outside and inner most exhaust head stud bolt fit but its semi impossiable to get a socket on it ive milled down and grinded one to fit but it doesn't have the strength anymore i had to take so much out i know afr sells resized bolts for just those holes but wondering if anyone had an idea so i dont have to wait till mid next week to get the motor togther
