To say I was somewhat surprised is an understatement...!! Is there some particular surface preparation required before putting the heads back on..? Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers, Bob

here is a few pics
my R/T had heads set up for dual plugs so I just but releases in the extra hole for the spark plug.
the tightening sequence is the same for a stock evo motor.
the tq, specs are 40 ft pds. dont do any of that 20-25 ftp then mark and turn 90 deg or 1/2 -3/4 turn stuff. go in the sequence for stock evo and go in 5 ft pd increments until 40 then your done. be careful because when I got to 35 and went to 40 I striped out 2 studs in the case. I had to helicoil them then. the studs are just threaded into alum in the case.
just make sure the surface is clean when installing the o-ring head gasket.
rocker arm support plate bolts 20-22 ft lbs
rocker cover bolts 15-18 ft lbs
rocker housing bolts 120-170 in-lbs
you can use sportster evo style rocker cover gasket instead of R/T brand. If I can help any further let me know
Good luck
