Had a little time to mount the head with the new gasket and new bolts.
Interesting process for those that have never done it before (me).
First you tighten, in sequence, all 12 bolts to 22 ft/lbs....and then loosen them back up. Next, you tighten them in sequence to 15 ft/lbs. Then, you use a torque angle gauge and tighten them 60* more...same sequence. Finally, you tighten each another 60*.
I will try and get cams back in by the weekend....
.....and I got lucky at an estate sale a couple weeks ago. Have wanted a lift for a while and could not pass this up. Works great.
There was some serious redneck engineering involved in getting it home.....fully assembled....7 miles.....on the back of a 5x8 Uhaul trailer.
No tickets.
Should make oil changes at home much easier....
