Have you looked into using head studs instead of head bolts?

No... Advantages? Disadvantages?

Head Bolts on 2.2/2.5L are torque to yield one time use(not everybody replaces them each time) and the studs are not.
If you plan on having the head off a few times studs would be the way to go.

1985 t2? never heard of such a thing.

if you block casting date is before june 1985 it would have come with 10mm bolts. but then again its 23 years old and it could have been converted from 10-11mm. i know a lot of old blocks were, i did several myself

Im not sure if its a T1 or a T2. They guy I got it from didnt know either, the original owner may have swapped it out. Im not sure why I put T2 in the title. lol
