One last note, it anyone needs a pic of the head layout with the bolt tightening sequenence PM me and I can send it to you. I will try to post the pic soon. Also in order to avoid any mistakes or omissions while tightening the head bolts I made a "checklist", bolt by bolt in order to make sure I got the sequence right and to do it right the first time.......to check off each bolt at a time, first with the initail 41 ft/lbs, the first angle torque and then the second angle tourqe. With 14 head bolts it is easy to lose track.
