Head Install question

[Slideways]

They all were around 105-110 lbs when I checked history on the wrench

Think those might be newton meters (about 80 ft-lbs)

*Edit* - yes, newton meters

If you were able to do the head bolts with a 3/8 then you are stronger than me lol, those fuckers are tight…

I mean... im 6'2", 190lbs.

Not sure if that means anything, but its not too bad.
Im more concern that people are saying the 3/8 won't be accurate. I dont want to get a 1/2, but is this what the consensus is?

For the accuracy you require, IMO, 3/8 is fine as long as it doesn't break.
There is no way it bends in any significant way.

Sounds good, thanks!

And set the pistons at around 15 crank degrees BTD before installing the head, to have the pistons away from the valves.
