Had to replace the head gasket. Have the head torque specs. Just need the rocker box specs for all the bolts and allen bolts. Also looking for the order to do them in.

One of the old ones.
Clean the Loctite from allens and use a bottom tap to clean internal threads. If you go to 120 in lbs on the rocker box cover, consider buying 1/4" longer bolts...shorter ones can strip. I use 80-90 in lbs instead. Torque them in at least two phases.
You'll need to buy a rocker box wrench, or grind down an Allen to get the rear Allens, but if you got it apart, you already know about that. You have to torque a couple of the rear Allens by feel.....no room.
