So i was tightening the rockers to torques spec.
and it appears whoever was in this motor before over tightened a few, and now i have 2 that will NOT tighten i thought i had a stripped hole, but in a iron head??? nope my bolts stretched WTF, where can i get these and are they special? i need them like today :(


hmm just remembered my dad took apart the 3.8 in the garage, god i hope he didnt scrap the bolts.... but if anyone knows where to get these pleaseeeee let me know
 


The bolts are one time use torque to yield bolts. They are supposed to stretch when you install them. Vendors like zzperformance.com can sell you some regular torque to yield bolts or comp cams re-usable ones.
 
just got 24 Rocker arm bolts, 2 sets of reusable COMPCAMS bolts for 10 dollars through my sponsor, zzp lists them for 20 dollars plus shipping for 1 set. :D
