I dont know if you vehicle is 4×4 but if it’s the case I usually take the front diff just about out. I take the axle bolt out and keep only teh lower bolt on the lef side to the diff rotate and you get all the clearance require to do the job.
It would be a good idea to invest in the 3/8 jiffy tight aluminium tool as it gets the job done in no time (considering you may use it again or just sell the tool once done).
If you have 3 line rather than 2. get the grill remove. I ve seen apprentice trying to get the clip out when they think they would save time working on the vehicle as is.
If you can avoid to cut the line, do so .. as they will show you the way to put them back in. That job actually looks worst than it is. The PITA is the line on the transmission if you have big arms.

The order doesn’t really matter as long as you are not going from front to back as you put lot of stress on one hand and nothing on the other.
As long as you don’t mix the pushrod position. You want to screw the rocker arm nut all the way and use the torque I wrote down previously and you are done.
Usually when you install a cam in a hot rod… you want to make sure you are on the base circle of the cam… then you remove the slack until there is no play and add 1/2 turn and such…
It’s not the case on that one. But take in consideration that GM did the math to bring have the proper preload on the lifter.

Head gasket
1st step 44ft/lbs
2nd step +95 degreespush rod and rocker
The correct torque for the rocker arm bolt is 14 N.m (124 lb in) plus 30 degrees.
Install the intake valve pushrods measure 144.18 mm (5.68 inch) long.
Install the exhaust valve pushrods measure 152.51 mm (6.0 inch) long.I set them all in place first starting from the center and work my way the extremities.

You want to make sure camber and caster are still in range. With a hit that way if the lower control is bent.. you would have positive camber. Replacing the part would bring your camber back.. They ae not adjustable from factory, but it’s always good to double check your work. Maybe the knuckle from the junk yard is bent.. I always recommend alignment after any suspension part replacement. A tie rod is a must.. Te boss kid … we replace both is lower control arm on his villager.. the bushing were worn. That bring the car back over 2.0 toe in.. He didn’t want the alignment right away cause it was friday night and wanted to go for a long drive trip. He came back with tire showing excessive wear.

If you are planning to lift the head off. Those model has a tendency to have the thread in the block to break… so technically the reason why you have a head gasket failure is that the head is not torque anymore… usually the middle section let go first.
Not to afraid you … but once the head is out… that may turn out to be an engine

It’s like cooking supper for a big family … make sure you have more than not enough.
If you can get some from a store walking distance good… but usually the amount is usually right. If you have a transfer pump to do the job .. you actually don’t put your .9 quart all the way. If you just squeeze the bottle in as well. I would get 2 bottle, you can always get your money back.
