You might want to put a little oil and rust penetrate in that last cylinder. It sure would suck to get it all back together and find out it's locked up.Also, on the different length bolts, they are really self explanatory, if you put them in the wrong hole, they will be too long, or too short. One medium length in each end by the oil return holes, really short ones on the bottom of the head, and the rest go in the holes that are left. Also, just curious if you've thought about valve adjustment. Do it before you put the intake manifold on. Make sure the lifters have oil in them, set the pushrods in the lifters and put the rocker arms on. On all the cylinders that the pushrods are COMPLETELY DOWN ON, tighten the rocker nut down until it's just snug, no play, then go a half turn tighter. Turn the engine over and get more of the lifters down, and adjust those rockers. keep doing it until all of them are adjusted. Don't forget to put some oil on the rocker balls for start-up. Hope this info helps.
