Can anyone point me to the torque sequence and specs for the head and for the intake manifold, been working on teardown and will soon get to head, want to do it in reverse so I don't screw it up.

Thanks!!

This should help somewhat

Here's another reference

Thanks guys, just what I needed. Kind of a 3 step process for the head bolts. What is a good thread sealer, they say to put it on the headbolts when installing.

Loctite 567 (I think is the number) from the old tech article on turbobuicks.co m the stuff works good & I've also used the Dealer stuff & no issues altho I use Studs if that makes any difference?

[Steve Wood]

Sure you know you cannot reuse factory head bolts and not to buy new torque to yield bolts. Use either ARP bolts or studs

[motorhead]

Right or wrong... there is some evidence that TTY bolts can be reused up to 10 times.

[Steve Wood]

You try it and give us the report😄

[Shimy87]

I'll order some ARP bolts, Thanks, I didn't know that

 Got it all torn down and this is the scoop. The lifter on that back valve was stuck, cleaned up the bore and used the lifter next to it and it slides smoothly now. Will have to order a new lifter also...where's a good source for that?? You can see a small mark on the carbon on the piston where it hit the intake valve. Took the head and turned up upside down and poured gas in each dome they all heldl fuel for 15 minuets and the front cylinder valves actually leaked it out before the back one that was struck.

Questions;

 1) should I get some lapping compound and do each valve on this head?......by hand
 2) my plan at this point is to replace that intake valve and its lifter and that pushrod......a nything else?
 3) recommended places to get lifter and ARP bolts?
 4) still use the 3 step torque procedure with the ARP's?

All I can think of now......thank s!!!!

I went with studs on the side that I did the hg replacement on. Pass side still has the factory seal.

[Steve Wood]

I would take it to a machine shop and get a proper valve job. It may need valve guides as well. 

I would do like Rich and use studs

[Shimy87]

Yeah the pass side sucks......to much crap to remove!!!

An old timer turned me on to this stuff when I assembled my first Big Block in the eighties so Ive used it since on bolts that go into the water jacket
