Also here is another tip for re-installation that i didnt think about in the PM.

I took 5 or 6 of the old head bolts and used air tool to cut the heads off the bolts. I also cut slots in the top for a screwdriver. I screwed them into the block and used them as guides when i went to lower the head back down on the block. Those were a HUGE help.
