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...
