ok so i bought a set of new heads for my d, and im not to sure as to how to torque the rockers on. im looking for a donor 5.9 and 46re for my spring build. but im not to sure on a few things. i would like to know all of what i need to replace on the donor engine. and how to torque on the rockers. i have the torque specs and i know the bolt pattern i just just need to know how to get the rockers on and how tight they need to be. and like i said what all should i replace on the engine.
i already have...
alternator
waterpump
oil pump
thermostat
thermostat housing.
radiator upper and lower hoses and bypass
coil wires cap rotor pluggs
all the gaskets for the engine
cylinder heads pushrods and rockers
all new sensors.
is there anything else i need to get for this build?

 

it saddens me that me question has been ignored by everyone, viewed but ignored.

 

I'm not ignoring, i just don't know. Didn't seem productive to read it and post idk.

you actually asked us for information, and then proceeded to tell us that you had it, how to torque the rockers down is to follow the sequence in steps up to the specified torque rating.

as for what you would NEED to replace, probably just the engine, everything else in the engine bay should work with your 5.2 just fine. and engine parts, the only thing i would add is a new coil because they tend to drop out at the worst possible times (ask indy)

 

sorry cummingetit. i wasnt trying to single anyone out. just dissapointed that noone responded to a week old thread question.
and yes i do have the bolt sequence to torque the head to the block! not the rockers. i have no idea what to do about getting them on. wether i need to start at #1 tdc. and torque that rocker on then move to #2 tdc and torque that one on? i dont know the torque setting or the sequence for the rockers.
so if anyones got it i would highly appreciate it.
i bought the haynes manual. but i cant find it in there anywhere. so im hoping you guys will help me out.
also.
i already have bought all the items i listed above, im also getting from hughesengines.com there f1 air gapper intake manifold kit and the big gulp 55mm t/b. as well as there dodge magnum valve covers.
i was wondering if i need to replace any other items like the main seals front and rear, or the distributer, or the gears, or lifters, or timing chain and gear set and how would i check em, and how would i check the cam to see if that needs to be replaced. cuz i know that the lobes on the cam on higher milage engines tend to round out?
any info?
and thanks!
