already had ARP head studs :D basically the cam bolt, the rocker studs, and i think the balancer bolt are going to be ARP.

dave, i hate welding. was your "blending" of the welds like perfect, or did you just throw some all metal on there?
 
After the grinding everything was pretty much flush. I had a couple pinholes in some that the filler took care of, but nothing remotely major at all.
