head gasket replacement

[mjtjnj]

Hey guys,

I pulled my head because my rebuilder messed up installing the valve stem seals. I took the head off, then replaced it, but it was one of those heads (which I had never seen on Chevy's) that didn't have alignment pins. I used some studs, which I later learned are not precise enough to align it. And it leaks antifreeze. It's getting worse, and I have some time, so I'm going to pull the head again. Two things:

1. Can I get alignment pins??

2. Can someone post the FSM pages (or link to) for the manifold and cylinder head torque sequences? I had a guy in my garage buying some parts a few months back, and he made off with my FSM. :fs1:

 

Thanks--

Tom

I've heard of guys cutting the heads off the old head bolts and using them for allignment.

Thanks, Fiatslug. I also saw the FSM recommendation regarding new cylinder head bolts. Where would one buy a set of them?
