Some other detail pics from the assembly process: Checking crankshaft end play ( which was fine, sorry Keith, the nitpicker is back)and cam end play. The new timing cover was completely deburred in the water passages because the tool parting lines where massive and I just don't like it this way.

I checked nearly everything but not the supplied AFR rocker studs and I payed for this.
Two of them had the threat not worked out completely, the pitch looked like not rolled correctly and more like a trapezoid thread what I found out the hard way.....
As I applied the AFR recommended torque to the rocker studs the thread in the heads gave up immediately and I had to remove the left head to fix the damaged threads with TimeSerts.
Have the more actual AFR heads inserts in the threaded holes for the rocker studs?
