Yes it is a special head bolt wrench. I just did my gaskets and used a snap on 7/8 o2 sensor wrench on an extension, a little grinding on the wrench and it fit perfect past the oil cooler.

Gringltaube did a great thread on power stering and he was a great help to me in my conversion I used a 5 ton pump, Ross hf542996 geer box and a gamma goat wheel and column.
I will be installing 395'5 soon and have been looking around and see that their are two different adaptors for the speedo one for 900 and one for 1100 tires. I am wondering if anyone is doing anything for the bigger tires or just not worrying about it.

I took a few more photos, before I put the valve covers back on, one shows the alterd socket on the crank shaft I forgot to get one of the o2 socket I'll try to remember tomorrow. Their are also some of my power steering conversion and the gama goat steering wheel and shaft. Also you can see...
OK I did it .015 intake cold and .025 exhaust. I started the truck with a friend watching the motor once it started it sounded good then it happened. I must have hit the oil pressure sending unit it broke off and oil was everywhere so I shut down immediatly. I will pick up a new 45 fitting...
I will be checking my valve lash tomorrow and I have been searching and the tm says 10 on intake and 25 on exhaust but it seems most set them at 15 and 25 is this correct what are the opinions on correct valve adjustment thanks for any help.

Yes they can, when I took mine to the machine shop the guy said he had alot of fun trying to find the specs on these heads he told me they took off .004" I am checking my valves tomorrow and I'll see how she runs.
