I reccommend following the "green book" procedure exactly to avoid any surprises down the road.

I removed the intake when I did mine to give me more room to operate and to give everything the once over before re-installing.

The head bolts are torgue to yield and you must use new ones unless you are willing to run the risk of another gasket failure.

It helps to have the cam alignment and head compression tools. I made a homebuilt cam cover compression tool and borrowed the cam alignment tools from a fellow brickboarder.

DO NOT put the gasket sealant on the cam cover even though it seems like it would make the job simpler and easier... it need to go on the head otherwise it seals the oil lube holes in the camcover.

Be clean,neat, and remove any burrs you make on the sealing surfaces.

Never-seize the cam cover bolts and do not over torque them....aluminum threads are prone to galling and stripping.

I used the ContiTech head gasket set with good results.

Have fun.
