if i could give you one tip, it's don't be he-man with the manifold studs and bolts. the torque for them is something stupid and immesurable like 7 to 11ft-lb, i usually do them up fingertight with a socket extension, then give em say quarter more of a turn
hopefully you're used to a torque wrench and you can feel when you've done it tight enough. better not tight enough, if it leaks then you can always just re-silicon it and do it up some more
there's nothing worse than getting your head all done and stripping out the last manifold stud you do up. been there, done that, it sucks
