No video, butttttttttttt easy enough.
1- put the first cylinder you want to change the lifterblock gaskets on top dead center(TDC) compression stroke.
2-Remove top rocker box cover.
3-Remove rocker saddle and both pushrods from that cylinder. Don't mix up pushrods (in. or ex.).
4-Remove lifter blocks, without the lifters dropping into the cam chest.
5-Replace gasket.
6-Reinstall the reverse of disassembly, being careful to let the lifters bleed down as you tighten the pushrods down.
7-When you can turn BOTH pushrods with your fingers, you can rotate the engine to TDC on the other cylinder, and replace the gasket on that lifter block. :2thumbs:

** Take your time as you're tightening the rocker saddle assembly to let the lifters bleed down, or you can do valve and guide damage. :bang:

Lifter block gaskets are the same for all years.

This will be my first attempt it so maybe best to have somone experienced there that has done this successfully before..

I am a good backyard mechanic but dont want to take any chances and screw it up.

Thanks for your input...

S&S pushrods should adjust short enough to remove without taking the rocker boxes off.
