I have everything ready to put back together. I have my cylinders done and back from machine/mechanic... and all apart with new pistons and rings for my 77 sportster. I need to know exact order or procedure for my specific bike. I have manual and parts catalogue but need to know do I put rocker box on head for rear cylinder before installing in frame becauser of clearance and same on front or??? is there any procedure for this specific year different than other years? put pistons and cylinders on tighten down...put rocker covers on heads tighten and torque (off bike) ...then slide on cylinder and piston and tighten down heads? details about lubrication, liquid gaskets ( i have all gasket kits ofcourse), proper surface prep where gaskets go, certain bolt head that work better than others I have new and old from allen to star type, etc?? etc , etc. any help or deferment to any write ups for this...thanks!!! Alot of oddball question as I am putting everything back -regarding order in which i do things mainly....
