Stuff of Interest:

>When replacing the engine, it will lift out
and go back more easily with the starter
removed (transmission attached). Install
the engine side pans beforehand; otherwise they are difficult to get in, especially
on the RH side.

>Torque specs: o Head bolts: 60 lbs o
*Main bearing caps: 80-90 lbs o 
*Rod caps: 45-50 lbs 
**Don't start the engine by pouring gas down the carb it washes away the lubricant 
and will crack the rings on a new engine. Instead, crank the starter with the key 
off to build up oil pressure, then fill the bowl with gas if the pump is not drawing sufficiently.

>Start a new engine with plain water and
StopLeak in the cooling system.Note any
leaks. Once they are sealed, replace with
normal coolant.
 
>Make sure all drive train bolts and fittings
are tight before putting back the floorboards or front clip.

>Retorque head, exhaust and oil pan bolts
after the engine has run hot.

>Don't lubricate the water pump with chassis grease. Always use water pump grease;
the other will cause the seal to leak.

>To do a pretty accurate front-end alignment, scribe each tire by rotating it against
a sharp object for a full circle, then measure the distance between scribe lines front
and rear. When they are the same, it's aligned, or at least the toe in is. Since camber is in the axle, that's less likely to be off.
