I am finally putting the head back on #22 but I have forgotten the pattern. As I remember you start in the center and go in a circle, but which way ? Lately I have been going in circles ;~)

General way, just go from the center first and alternate your way out and around.

Test fit first, to be sure piston don't strike head, without gasket, then add gasket sealer, gasket and bolts being sure the thread length is right, and bolt holes are clean.

Thank you Dan, I always love a road map. My GPS didn't lead me to the result you gave me ;~)

And make sure the gasket is put on the correct way. The fire rings will be up and both passage ways front and back will match in size, one is bigger then the other.
