Engine assembly tips

Not a bad idea to run a tap through the head bolt holes if you are using bolts, so that you are reading thread torque not a bottoming bolt when you tighten up the heads. If it is in the shop get him to do it.

You should run a tap in EVERY hole to be sure that your threads are clean and you are getting proper torque and clamp load.

(Just like a woman, tap every hole that you can.... LOL!) :D
