Well I'm still not sure if it came polished, or coated, or what. Like I said, we were surprised.
You got the .8x A/R?
Just an update:
I ended up going with the cosworth head stud kit. Found it on Stillen's website (can't remember who told me to look there, but thanks!). They were only $218 shipped! I for some reason thought they were running about $100 more? At least in the other two places I looked, they were.
Anyhow, cosworths it is.
