Clean and inspect the Studs, Washers, and Nuts to ensure they are free of shipping damage and obvious defects. q Clean all threads in the block.

TIGHT. Install the shorter studs in to location #11, #13, #15, #17 in the torque sequence. Look across the tops of the head studs to see that they all appear to be the same length. If one is taller, remove the stud, clean the threads in the block and re- install. -
Install the head gaskets and cylinder heads; check for any misalignment.
-
Install Rocker Arm Box, Push Rods, and Rocker Assembly according to manufacture specs.

Place head stud washers onto the head studs. Then lubricate top of head stud washers and head stud threads with assembly lube.

- The first round should be to 40 ft lbs (positions 1-18).
