I have two questions what are the updated torque specs, and I have new head gaskets with no markings on them, are the back ports the open ones?

Hello,

In the diagrams down below I have included the removal and installation instructions for your vehicle's head gaskets. I have also included the torque specs that you have requested in the diagrams down below as well. I hope that this helps, and please let us know how everything turns out.

Thanks,
Alex

Thanks so much. That is exactly what I wanted. To be clear the big antifreeze ports on the rear of the engine are open and the ones on the front are covered except for that little 1/8 inch or so hole.
