Default EVO Head Gasket replacment....

I have to replace the rear head gasket on my 85 wideglide.

First of all I do have a factory manual...But just looking for any tips from anyone who has done them before that might be of help. I know to keep track of where what push rods go where....Just wondering if there might be a trick or two out there that could be useful.

Thanks Ben

SEE HOW MUCH HEAT THE CYLINDER HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING, PUT THE PISTON TO BOTTOM AND LOOK FOR RUB MARKES IN THE BOREBY THESTUDS.
