What is the purpose of these head bolt bushings?

These bushings act as integral washers for your head bolts. They help distribute the clamping force evenly across the cylinder head surface, ensuring a proper seal between the cylinder head and the engine block.

Do I need to buy separate washers for my head bolts?

No, these Edelbrock bushings come with integral washers built into their design. This simplifies the installation process by reducing the number of parts you need to manage.

Can I use these bushings with any head bolts?

These bushings are specifically designed for 7/16-inch head bolts on 289-302 small block Ford engines. They are compatible with Edelbrock Head Bolt Kit #8552 or stock 7/16-inch head bolts for those specific engines.
