TP Engineering 107" from a 2000 Big Dog head bolts and oil lines

Anyone know if these bigger motors use the same torque specs and methods of an evo, or if they're different? I've marked the bolts in the picture incase I named them incorrectly.

Also, the marked oil line. On my FXR this is a line that runs to the swingarm area for venting. I assume this is the same. This motor had been sitting for a long while and when I turned her over oil poured out of that line. I assume this is more of a, she was filled with oil from sitting, more than a nope, that's a return. The big dog had the marked line tied into another oil line. So I thought I'd ask.

Thanks for any help and advice.

The circled oil line is the crankcase vent line, and is generally vented to atmosphers,,, after a long unused toke frame, oil can puke out that line

As to the head bolt torque specs,, you should contact TP Engineering,, or the head gasket manufacturer for specs,,, it has been a long time since i had a TP 107 apart... they do use a narrow skirt design piston,, and usually come with a crane 600 cam,, this cam sometimes causes hard starting, due to the lobe timing, i replaced the crane cams with S&S 600, to cure starting issues (battery & starter motor)..
