1- On the rocker shaft stands how many dowels. Mine just has them on the two inboard stands. Outer and center did not have any. Should have dowels for each stand
2-Intake gasket is .060 thick. I assume Felpro. What is the best gasket? Dry or should I coat it around the ports with something? I use a aircraft gasket sealer, up Hylomar works great also up
3-Upper head studs into intake passage. What is best to seal them with? A good thread sealer, Hylomar also works good
4-Do the head bolts go into the coolant or are they blind holes. FSM makes no reference.
NO on the original stock iron blocks and all the Mega and World iron blocks I've seen don't
