Ran into a issue I can not torque the last bolt on the right The socket will fit but the torque wrench will not fit on top, I even tried a swivel and still won't work
Any ideas?

sledge hammer on the firewall. Ended up bending the lip on the firewall to allow a torque wrench on the last bolt Got them all torqued down, exhaust manifold and Intake manifold is on, power steering and electric fan is back on. I have the throttle body, ac compressor, belt, air box, valve cover and to set the rockers at tdc left I have only misplaced two intake manifold bolts :/ All in all this has been a learning experience

Hey it's the best way to learn. I have a vacuum pump and freon gauges if you wanna gas it back once it's back together.

At least you caught your mistake and corrected it before it went " BOOM"!
I don't think you should worry about your rocker adjustment. It's not like it's been sitting for weeks and weeks and the oil pressure has bleed out of the lifter. Tighten them all down slowly and let the pressure in the lifter bleed out so you won't bottom them out and you should be fine. If you still want to go to TDC, turn the crank till the timing notch lines up on the harmonic balancer with the mark in the front cover. That will get no. 1 piston up for you.

Well the two bolts/nuts that I thought I had misplaced i figured out where they went. The old head had two studs coming out and the new one doesn't. So the two studs were used to hold down exhaust manifold with a nut, so there goes my two nuts lol
Bolt hole is the same size So I'll have to get two new nuts

Ok here it goes I found a straw and stuck in the spark plug #1 and rotated the crank til it stopped moving upward. Is that TDC? Do I go thru and and torque them all to 19ft lb or do I have to do every hole like that ?
Sorry lol It's all new to me

Ok everything is back together but now it won't turn over Let me rephrase it's wanting to turn over not if you check that fuel valve on the rail nothing is coming out.

You should hear the electric fuel pump humm for a few seconds when you turn the key to the on position. You need to prime the fuel system back up because there's none at the fuel injectors right now. Turn the key on and off a few times then recheck the fuel rail. Make sure the fuel is back up. I'm pretty sure you have to release the air out of the system to get the pressure built back up but I may be wrong.

Yeah I tried turning key on and off a few times but still nothing It's turning over but not catching I can keep trying and see
