Update
got the heads on. got the pushrods in place and started getting the rockers in place. im just getting them tight enough to hold the pushrods and lifters in place so i can finish the underside.
also just beat halo reach as that was one of the things taking me away from my engine this week.

Update
well in the process of tightening down my rocker arms i had a nut get to a point and then stop before it even got down to the rocker arm. i tried to back it off and no luck so i tried to turn past where the nut was stuck and snap. had one on the drivers side do that. went to Rojam Machine in omaha and he gave me a nice arp replacement.

now i got the the second side and got had 2 more do the same thing and as i went to back the nut off i actually had the stud come loose so i took the stud off and got the nut off and in the process completely destroyed the threads on the stud. and no they were not cross threaded.
i replaced 6 studs on the passenger side and i ran a die over all 8 studs and i replaced all 8 nuts.
but i got that done.
i also ordered the wrong alternator. the old style and new style housings for the alternators are both 10si but on the older style the bolt holes are 180 degrees apart where the newer style they are about 120 degrees apart and thus the bracket i have will not attach to the alternator so i have to send it back.
they also sent me the wrong power steering pump. they sent me a chrome one instead of black so i got $66 free.
I primed my engine tonight and installed my intake. and have my valve covers over the heads. the rebuild kit that the rebuild shop got me was for the year of my block so the gasket was for center bolt heads so i have to get a new gasket.
