The hard part for me was always the timing chain tensioner. It's tedious.

Also, regarding the bolts. There is a spec for how thick they should be (stretched == narrower). Not that I have it handy. If the bolts are necked down due to stretch, replace them. They probably won't be.

allen wrench? "allen" wrenches are for internal wrenching fasteners; perhaps a pipe wrench is what was in mind.

A spec for M110 head bolt stretch will not be handy...for anyone. It does not exist; they are not stretched to the point of yield. (see the second post, above)
