Top end rebuild (sort of) Options

[KaptKaos]

Some of you may know that I buggered up my heads on my /4 a few months ago. I put in a step-down stud on the exhaust and put it in crooked. I pulled the heads, sent them to the machine shop to have them fixed up.

In the process of pulling the heads, one of the cylinders stuck onto the head. In pulling it off, I broke one of the rings on the piston. Lovely!

So I then pulled all of the cylinders, and honed them to break the glaze. I just bought a new set of rings, and will re-ring all of the cylinders. I will be putting new rings on the pistons this weekend and possibly installing the cylinders. I bought a ring compressor too.

The pistons, rods and crank all stayed in the case, except for one piston I took off for measurements, etc... I will be putting that back on too.

This is the first time I am doing this. What oil should I use for assembly? Since the pistons are already on the rods, I will be slipping the cylinders down onto the pistons. Any hints there on how best to handle that?

All of the push rods, rockers, etc.. were marked for their cylinder, and will be going back where they were.

Is there anything else I should be looking for, doing, etc..???

Oh, what's the torque setting on the nuts that hold the heads on? Is there a preferred pattern for tightening those?

TIA
