Replacing inline 6 head gasket and just want to know the torque for the valve arms, and the actual head. And any tips for replacing a head gasket? Thanks
 
Rocker assembly is 35 ft lbs. Head is done in 3 stages...55, then 65 and finally 75 ft lbs. I like the Felpro head gasket.
 
use some old head bolts as guides to make sure the gasket and head are aligned. (cut the head off and cut a slot in it for a screw driver).

Two of the gasket and head ,bolt holes are made smaller for this on pass side, front and back ,for best alignment. Look at it you will see them. Put them there.
