Heads back from machine shop

This is what Criss' Engine and Machine here in Tucson (520-741-0302) did to make the heads ready for the ARP screw-in studs.  They pull the press-in studs and then machine the mounting surface to true it and make sure the studs end up being the same length.  Make sure you use silicone or Teflon tape on the studs when you install them because they go into the water jacket.  I think screw-in studs are a good addition with a big cam and 1.6 rockers since the center bolt valvecovers don't have room to run a stud girdle.
