installing heads?

[Meatyshells]

what bolts am i soposed to use the moly lube on? And is it necessary to use a sealant for the bolts going into coolant if im using stock head bolts? I see the bolts have some kind of blue coating on them.

and when installing lifters, do you just drop them in? is it that easy? Or do i need to do something more?

The blue stuff on the thread is a thread locker. Shouldn't have to add anything else.

I have a question, which manual are you using? Haynes? Chiltons? Mitchell? Combination? Seems like a **** to get the heads off.

i didnt use any guide at all, but i did stay at a holiday inn last night


but really i didnt use a manual, just looked up the torque specs i needed on line.
it's not really that hard, just takes a little while to do

moly lube goes on all the head bolts and i torqued my studs to ninty but if your using bolts i think 80 or something is most unless they are not arp then just follow guide

Most FACTORY specs say OIL not moly on your bolts. Wet head bolts don't get anything but sealent.

the torque specs on stock head bolts are 36 ft lbs + 130 degree turn
