I think . Remove water from radiator . If you put engine at cylinder #1 then 45 degress more , this will
reduce most of the pressure off valve train . Get a box and make 16 holes in it to place your push rods in ,
number them so you can put them back in the same lifter . ( When pulling out rods , slowly twist them so
they release from lifter , they could be pulled out by mistake )
When putting back together , only use graphite intake gaskets , discard cork front and rear seals
and use high heat (permatex Gold ) in there place . Disgard metal plate under intake too.
Put a light film on each intake and water port , same for intake .
there is a sequence to torking , inside ( carb ) then outer endes , then back " in " to the others .


Change oil , re water .
