As some of you know im getting ready to top-swap, I have everything i need besides some stupid small stuff. Im not going to lie, This is my first project that's this big, so i have some small noobish questions. I understand how to do everything and have been reading a lot. Anyone have any trick or tips on anything im going to come across that haven't been discussed
some small tips i have gathered
-pour oil into lifter valley to clean out coolant, if it spilled
-using copper rtv spray, spray both sides of head gaskets
-dab of rtv on each corner of the orange lim gaskets
-un-clip coil pack wire harness and crank engine to get oil on parts before starting
-sc gasket can be installed dry
feel free to correct anything that i mentioned
some Q's that i can think of...
what types of rtv am i going to need?
do the head bolts need rtv or can they be installed dry?
when pouring oil into lifter valley, do i need to remove the lifters first?
do the cylinders really have to be TDC when installing my roller rockers?
any advise will be greatly appreciated
