Well...after replacing my headgasket and practically overhauling the head plus some tricks on the ports, I am ready to start this sucker.
Now, should I prime the engine?, have fresh oil and used assembly lube on the camshaft and valve stems on assembly.
Do I need to prime the engine before starting? , how do I prime the engine?
Can I rotate the intermediate shaft to prime it?

Also, I torqued down the headbolts like the Bentley manual says, but dont know about the final step on 1/4 turn of so. How much torque is that?
I used assemly lube ont the bolts, so maybe my torque reading are off, What would happen if I over torque the bolts? (not crazy over torque, maybe a couple of ft/pounds more?)
