Finally got all 8 Dorman plugs pressed in. I had to make them all smaller
to fit - see photo above. They are very tight and sealed. Carquest had a
great selection of plugs and I tried the next smaller size 555-109 but they were too small.

Began reassembly today. Cleaned some Gorilla tape sticky off the
top of the heads and put down Jerry's IH gaskets and dropped on the
IH's, Loctite and torqued all 16 IH bolts per FSM.

Then decided to put on the short fat breather hoses that run from
the breather box to the IH's. Screeeeeeech.

That was the sound of progress halted. After 20 minutes trying to
manipulate them into position I gave up, loosened all 16 torqued/loctited
bolts to lift the IH's about 1/4" to get the breather hoses into position.
Retorqued and called it a night.

Hope to finish tomorrow and then troubleshoot.
