Alan, Torque the head to 110 ft. lbs. in stages starting from one side of the head in the middle and work back and forth across and outward toward each end of the head. I'd take them to 60 then go back and take them to 90 and then finally to 110. After you get her started and run up to operating temp (You may have to put a piece of cardboard in front of the radiator to make her heat up), shut her down and go back.

After about 20 hours of operation, you may want to go back and give it one last retorque.//FB
