Quick question for this: I'm replacing my head bolts (long story). Looking at the bolts, I have seven long bolts, two short bolts with exposed studs, and five short bolts without the exposed studs. Not seeing anything on which bolts go where. I have the bolt positions written down, just doing my due diligence before going out in the snow.

Know this is an old thread, but I have mine apart so I can answer this in case someone needs the info in the future.

The seven bolts with the long exposed studs go along the driver side, at bolt positions 11,7,3,2,,6,10,14 in the layout above.

The two bolts with short exposed studs go in the second-from-outboard positions - #8 and #9

The remaining positions take the flat-headed bolts - 12,4,1,5,13
