Apparently it's not much. 10 lbs. I doubt a couple more would hurt

Gaskets in, head put back in, valves adjusted. Good enough for today.

Just to finish up. Torqued studs ( from Dean ) on 1600 head to 80lbs. Gap on lifters to .017. Used copper spray on gaskets. Cleaned everything could reach as I went along Cleaned all threads male and female. Filled with new anti freeze and changed oil. Took for test drive 10 miles. All is well.
