Great I was going to torque everything as well. Thanks for the suggested timeframe. I shall do the same.

I pour each side of the block 48 hours apart. I bolt cylinder heads on during the curing process. And I wait a week after the second side was poured before any other work is done. I torque the heads and mains to spec for curing.

I think the name of the company I buy mine from is Red Cap Supply.

Don't forget the motor mounts.

I use Halco machine grout and leave it sit with heads and mains torqued for a month. I always take small samples in spray can tops.

I leave mine torqued for a month as well. Also for Pontiacs I drill the small water holes in the deck larger to get the funnel in the holes; about 1/2".
