well, Just got my head back and I told them that the washers from the head studs where still in the head. they said ok and when I got my head back it was missing 2 washers. I am not to sure what to do but I have to put my engine together. Any alternatives? Will torque specs be off with a different washer? Does arp sell individual washers?

 

you need to have those washers to have the correct torque specs, no questions asked! and if the shop lost them you should go back and make them get you replacement ones.

 

Should have pulled them out with a magnetic pen or pick-up tool. Never can be too careful these days.
