Rick, everything looks really good, and I like how everything is freshened up
but still has a bit of patina....

[Mgs] Head on the TD
 

Hey Friends,

Got a little TD work done today. Torqued
the head in place and set the
pushrods on the lifters, complete with graphite
infused assembly lube.

I next set
the rockers in place and snugged the bolts evenly until
snug (but not torqued
tight).

I then hung the lifter
chest gasket on the studs.

The
cover went on next and was tightened enough to seal. The top-end
oil line went
on next, snugged up but not yet tightened.

In the morning I will torque the
rocker post bolts and bend the new
locking tabs up. I'll then torque the oil
line banjo bolts, clamping
the banjos on the new copper washers. And once all
that's done, I'll
sequence through the valves setting the clearance to 0.015"
(cold)
then thread the plugs in loosely. Valve cover on next then I'll move
to
the manifolds.

More tomorrow...
