Is this the corect info for a 1966 I6 200 head bolt sequence? Yes i am putting the I6 back together today, hopefully i will be able to upload a video of it running tonight. Also, any recomendations for a spray sealer to keep the head gasket tight with the head and the block? Any startup tips for a car that has been sitting for about a month now with no head? Wish me tons of luck as well!

Yeah Marty, that looks about right. With intakes and heads, the easy way to remember is to start fron the center and rotae your way out. You will never need to look in a manual again if you just remember that.

Head gasket sealer depends on the head gasket. I woule use what the head gasket mfg. recommends.
