I just can't imagine GM using TTY bolts on anything in the 80s... technologically, they were way behind the curve at that point.

thought the 5.7D used TTY bolts tho? could be wrong..
92 Jetta GLI - Black, 1.6D w/ GT2056V turbo..
86 GTI - 4 Door, Med Twilight Gray, Tow Machine..
86 Audi Coupe GT - Tornado Red, All Stock.. WRECKED.
89 Toyota 4Runner - Dark Grey Metallic, LIFTED!

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.

I agree - I would be utterly amazed if GM used TTY head bolts in the 80's.  That kind of technology was way beyond their level of practice at that time.
