I used an open/box as I didn't have a dog leg wrench, to tighten jugs to block.
After all these years turning wrenches, proper tightness is second nature.
but I can't over stress the need to re torque the heads properly after they have heated up to operating temp. I didn't do that the first time, and had to replace the head gaskets, then I re torqued after hot and that worked with no problems.
I did both times use Stens after mkt. gaskets, not Kohler
