Ensure the timing mark points to top dead center when cylinder #1 is at top dead center. Your last chance to adjust the timing mark

I bathed the studs in anti seize paste. I have done that in 1998 when I had the same head off from the car. When I took the head off 17 years later with 100K+ since, the head just came out like a breeze. And the studs where still coated with the original anti-seize!!

There nothing more critical than properly torquing a cylinder head. Multiple passes in the correct sequence. And I do not trust just any torque wrench. I use SnapOn for this job (not the Harbor Freight version) :)
