These are Ford Racing SVO Aluminum heads,..

I guess I should DEFINATELY use Brass????

Any special consideration because these ARE aluminum?

What about head bolts and Head gaskets??

Ford Recommends:

“expanded graphite” head gaskets, 2 high-tech metal with bonded O-ring rocker cover gaskets, and 1 engine set of “torque-to-yield” cylinder head bolts.

My Mechanic says he's always used Fel-Pro gaskets with no problems......
And Why couldn't I use my ARP bolts?????

One other thing..... If a Head Gasket has a combustion chamber size of 8.8cc (for example) Do you ADD this amount to your Head chamber size when configuring RATIO???
How is it that Head Manufactures claim XX:1 with a XXcc Chamber If they don't know what gasket size your using???>>>a little misleading isn't it??

Thanks
