need help identifying head bolts

I'm trying to figure out whether i should replace my headbolts or not, I'm fairly sure i already have an aftermarket set, but i want to make sure.

Does anyone recognize the symbol on the top of this bolt?

Can't say I recognize that. Just get a new set, maybe $20 or so per side. IIRC, I got a GMPP head bolt kit for about $40 for both heads.

Re: need help identifying head bolts

ARP head bolts cost about $90 last I checked. Shipping to norway probably takes 4-5 weeks, and is astronomical in cost.
if you already have the parts....

I'm sorry Carmeggedon, I don't recognize that symbol. I am curious however, so i'm hoping somebody chimes in.

Re: need help identifying head bolts

ARP is gonna run ya bit higher than regular aftermarket head bolts though. If it's a regular 350 with nuthin special, standard headbolts should suffice. If you're boosting or jucing, definitely ARP
