Intake man bolt locations.
Quick q before I put it on. I think I numbered #7 and #8 wrong. The 4 long bolts go on each corner right?

Re: Intake man bolt locations.
4 longs are the 2 center bolts on each side in 87-up applications, as far as I can remember. Could be wrong about that. Somebody else will chime in here soon to confirm.

I mean I numbered them as I took them off and all but one long is on each corner. And that's when I realized step 8 was actually step 7.

Can't answer the question directly, but wanted to add that you need to be careful. Using a long bolt in the wrong location can bend/bind up a push rod. Which leads to further damage.

Yup. The longer ones I put in the corners. I saw that the shorter ones stop before getting too close to the pushrods.

Re: Intake man bolt locations.
SO mad.
Chilton said to tighten heads in 3 passes, ending with 65 ft. pounds and showed the bolt pattern.
Did so, engine is almost ready to run.
Was looking at a chart and it gives specific torque specs for each pass.
