Update - I got head gasket kit and bolts from AB. Removed old engine and did some cleaning underneth. Stated removing new engine and noticed paint lines or marks on the heads of the new engines head bolts, any idea what they are for, maybe head gaskets have been changed before since I dont see any marks on my old engine bolts? Thanks.

The marks are for torquing. Your instruction sheet should say torque to 15ft lbs, then turn 90 degrees, then another 90 degrees. You can use that as a reference since space will be limited when you get to the rear head bolts.

I was thinking that the head gaskets and bolts may have already been changed before,but since I already have everything and the engine is going to be out I am still going to change them.thanks.
