Re: torque specs on ze
look through the online shop manual... it lists torque specs - they are the same for the k8 and ze (on just about everything IIRC)

I just replaced ALL gaskets on the top end of my K8. Trust me, they're in there.
Check out the 1995 Workshop Manual and browse through section B2. I wouldn't have been able to do the job without it

In all honesty it's like surgery. You have to know the internals before you open her up. Also, have plenty of small bags to put bolts into and tags to mark your vacuum lines and such.
As far as me, everyone on here told me it was a waste of time to re-gasket my K8 bc the time and effort are equal (if not more) to that of the ZE swap. My intention of doing so proved my right in the end because now my engine and I have an understanding of one another and it helped our relationship

I'm a control freak when it comes to this stuff

But NAYWAYS, follow the torque specs in the manual if you want, (some don't use torque wrenches as they know what the bolts "feel" like when they are just right), but I would suggest using them for now because it took me a while but when I first started the car up, not a single timing issue or anything (except that I'm running fuel rich). Hope this helps you.
