Engine assembly...

i did this once or twice a long time ago... i need some brushing up on the how-to's!


Im putting the hot air all back together... im pretty sure i got it all! I need to figure out a few things...


Torque specs on intake? so you use hi-tac or any adhesive on the intake pan gasket before installing the intake?

Exhaust header bolt tq? I have postons headers, i figure the tq on those with steel gaskets should be important...

crank balancer tq? How do i snug this thing on? impact? I dont want to hurt anything!!!

Cam sensor alignment... how does this get done? i am re-using the front cover that came with the motor, but was not installed... cover is on, never taken apart, so i never packed the pump...should I? then what do i do with the cam sensor... it is on the cover installed, but how do i know it is in the right position?

ugh... im too excited about getting this together, that i finally got the whole model together! I just want to make sure im doing this right... it has been too long since the last time i did this... Im brain farting all over!!!
