At the risk of being insulting (which I definitely don't want to be) I was just wondering if you have a shop manual to refer to during re-assembly? Of course there is a correct bolt tightening sequence and torque, and other things like putting the push rods back in the original locations, etc. Just checking... :wink: -Will [Reply]   [No Email]

I can't tell how much you've all helped with this change. All the little tricks and tips come from your experiences. Yes, I have the shop manual with all the specs and I'll follow them to the "T" when reassembling. Felpro gasket set came with push rod cover gasket also so I'm going to pull that cover tonight when I do my final cleaning and thread chasing before assembly. Won't hurt and I can see whats up inside there. Gasket set came with instructions that said, "Install head gasket in direction of markings, otherwise install gasket." So, only markings on my gasket, just some lines. Which side goes to block? [Reply]  [No Email]
