Ok so an area of question is the bolts. Is there a tolerance on the bolts that I could measure the length to find if they are out of spec?

Do you need the 'specs' on the Head Bolt Length.
First check the threads closely, and make sure there is no
progressive wear, and/or corrosion.
Thread size is 7/16"-14.
You can purchase a 'machined nut', and run them on the
threads of each Head Bolt to check to see if there is any excessive play.
That is the 'least expensive way' for a quick check.
does this make it PITA to get off If i ever have to pull them? Knock on wood.

I reused the stock bolts. I did clean them up and they were lubed before torquing. I did also blow out the bolt holes. Which appears that wasnt the right way to do things. Ill get the new gaskets and look into bolts.
I've never had to add a coating to the steel head gaskets and never retorqued iron heads. The problem isn't how gooey the gasket could be.
