I took the head off because it had some bent valves. Got valves replaced and I'm ready to put it back together. Can someone tell me is it easier to put the head on, torque it down then put the intake on or put the intake on the head then torque it down.

I did it with the intake and exhaust already installed.

Ok, so you put the intake and exhaust on the head first then you put the head on the block then torque the head down?

Hey i put the head on with the middle section of the intake manifold already on. It made it alot easier put the intake manifold back on.
