Slowly but surely... at least I'm not paying someone else to do this. I got them lined up by starting the rear nuts then pulling the front tube a bit. It didn't take a whole lot but I got it seated and the front nuts started.

Then everything else together, but the tolerances on everything seems slim so I'm going back and forth tightening it all gradually.

There's still a decent amount of space between the flanges and head. 5 ft lbs isn't much and the flanges were tight on the studs anyway. I bet I'm there already but it doesn't look tight enough.

I'll check everything over in the morning.

Well it's all together and working great! No leaks at the ports and I'll keep an eye on things as it settles in.

Cheers.
