When changing lifters!!!
Is there anything I need to pay special attention to when putting everything back together. I know the torque specs, but if anyone has any additional advice, I would appreciate the help..

Soak em in oil first and do NOT overtorque the bolts for the plastic lifter cup (you'll pull the threads right out). I'd probably use a little locktite on them too.

If your installing new lifters, clean them up with some mineral spirits first to clean out any gunk build-up from packing. Then soak them in oil.

for the head bolts, I had a hard time getting a clar view of the rear center bolts on each side, if you got a digital camera handy, reach back and take a pic so you can see the mark you put on more easily, though of this after I was done of corse!
