my tstat got stuck twice on the way home from work. car over heated up to 260 degrees. later that night i discovered water in my oil so i started tearing into it and didnt get that far before i ran out of day light.

my question is what sort of important little rules do i hve to follow while putting the heads back on? torque specs. thread sealer. patterin in which i tighten the bolts. and anything else i have have forgotten?

id like to get thsi done today so i can get back to work tomorrow.
