I had my aluminum heads ported and polished and milled down 15 thousandths and just wanted to know if I need a spacer or not. Will I need new head bolts too or will the old ones that are pretty new work?

.015 is not enough to need new head bolts and manifold fit will be good To check out measure bolt hole depth in block then head and compare to bolt length.
