installing heads?!

[projectstallion]

this weekend i'm gettin ready to install heads for the first time, the heads i have are fully assembled and ready to go. do i just slap them to the block after addin the pushrods and head gaskets of course torque the bolts and go out and play? is it the easy?

I find it easier to bolt up the head and then loosen the rocker enough to move it to the side and then slide the pushrod down through. THat way theyre not fighting you as you try to put the head on. Thats just my $0.02

Not really that tough, but plan alot of time for it and stay patient, as something always seems to go wrong.

I would remove the rockers from the heads, install the heads, install the pushrods, then the rockers.

I figured it out, so it can't be that tough!
