It already has ARP headbolts - is that what you're talking about?

Yeah that was my original thinking. But it's going to cost me more in the long run if I have to pull it again. I'd rather do it while it's out so I can (hopefully) avoid pulling it again.

I think the current compression is like 9.5:1, so I'm not sure how my performance will be after boring and balancing (as opposed to higher compression). Surely it will be livable.
