in either case I'm putting the bolts in from the outside as I have no shims to do anything with. And in my situation, it was incredibly heart rending to realize I had to remove the pan as well, since it had originally began as a simple pull and rebuild the head. The head was cracked (hence brokenhead)The fella at the machine shop told me he had one that wasn't cracked, and all I had to do was get the OK from the fella that it belonged to and I could have it for what he owed, which was $80. As soon as he got permission from the guy the price went to $125, and as I didn't know then what I know now I found it was actually a 1936 206 head,(which I still have, it is in beautiful shape) which won't fit, and the [censored] had no interest in buying it back, then I had to get the rocker arms and shaft bushed and repaired. then it turns out I had to pull the cam, then I had to get the cam journals cut down .010 since my CORE had undersize journals, and could not get my core charge back. I was only down at the other house on weekends, which mostly meant only saturdays, having to do all the yard work as well. It would have been much, much easier to have been able to just remove 2 bolts...in this case it made a simple job much more difficult
