Jeff, one more piece of advice -- if you're doing the heads yourself,
remember
to at least stretch out the push rod tubes before you put them back in.
Consider buying new ones.  I didn't do this and was rewarded with two
leaky push rod tubes -- one on each side.  I bought the two piece
replacement tubes which are working fine, but I would have saved time
and money by replacing them in the first place.
