Rob:
You mentioned in another post that you could get the head off in less than an hour, which leads me to believe you know how to re-assemble them as well.
I just got an Aluminator NA short block and I'm probably going to start putting my stock heads on it by Friday.
It is a 2014 block that uses the newer (and shorter) 11mm head bolts (compared to the longer ones that came in 2011-2012 engines).
Do you know the correct torque spec/procedure for tightening these 11mm TTY bolts?
I will be using the FSM procedures found here to re-assemble the heads onto the new short block (save for any difference in head bolt torque specs). http://iihs.net/fsm/?dir=823&viewfile=Engine.pdf
And WOW the stock bolts were scary to remove. Needed a breaker bar w/ a big cheater pipe to get em broken.
Thanks!
