Pistons with pins and rings installed.
Heads. Careful to get exhaust studs in the proper direction.
Protectors installed so pistons and rings won;’t be sucuffed by head studs and vice versa.

CD730 applied to both the heads ad cam towers.This is critical to sealing.
Cam towers and cam boxes installed.
