Putting gaskets and valve covers back on.
Your now ready to re assemble, Figure out wich gaskets go on wich valve cover, and place the gasket in the slots in the valve cover provided for the gasket. Now you will need to wipe a small amount of oil on the gasket, dip your finger in the oil of the head and wipe a thin coat of oil on the entire gasket and proceed to put the valve cover back on the head. Do this to the next valve cover as well. You now can put the bolts to the covers back in, snugging them up, not hand tight, just snug. You will need to torque these in a specail order.
Torque specification:
72-78 inch lbs. or 9Nm
Torque sequence:
Use this for both Valve covers.
STEP 14
Putting the Intake manifold back on
First place your Manifold gaskets over the studs to keep them in place.
^^Outlaw Thermo Spacers Shown^^(for thermo spacers use silicone on each side of the gaskets)
Now you can carfully place the Intake manifold back on the engine, again place a rag under the runner to allow enought space to put the throttle body back on. First place the new gasket for the throttle body on the 2 studs to keep it in place, Then reconnect the hose that goes from the throttle body to the intake manifold. Now you can slide the throttle body back on the studs. it wont go all the way back on. You now take the rag out from under the runner, and this should allow the throttle body to slide on freely. Proceed to put the nuts on the studs and bolts in. Snug them, do not tighten.
Torque them to 17 Ft Lbs.
Now you can replace the nuts and bolts to the intake manifold, Use a needle nose plyers to help putting the nuts and bolts in the rear runner. Snug all of the nuts and bolts, do not tighten.
You now have to torque them to 17FT Lbs also, in this seqeunce:
