Dont forget thread sealant on the outer exhost manifold studs and the water pump bolts.

Thank you. Realized I needed to do that earlier today. Was planning to use Permatex Ultra black which is what i used to seal the intake manifold.

Did you have hardened valve seats put in the heads? Unleaded gas eats the old ones.

I did not. Doing this rebuild at home and on a budget. The plan for right now is to get it running solid, then if we truly love it, start upgrading. It probably needs new seats and guides. It is on the ragged edge of being in tolerance.
