New head ?
Installing new head on an early build 04. The new head has fewer holes to hold down the rocker arm carrier. Anybody know if this is a problem? Dont think so myself because the studs are located very near these missing holes and also hold down the carrier. Any info would be great.

A little snipit from an International service bulletin describing the issue;
Engine Family: VT 365 Serial Number Range: 000082-Up
DESCRIPTION
A new Cylinder Head Kit 1847101C97 replaces the old Cylinder Head Kit 1847101C96 for service. The new cylinder head has three tapped holes (instead of eight); two bolts secure the rocker arm carrier.

NOTE: The rocker arm carrier, having eight clearance holes for the M8 X 50 bolts, has not been revised. The existing rocker arm and revised rocker arm carrier can be used with the new or old cylinder head. The performance and function of the cylinder head and rocker arm carrier will not be affected.

Drivers side or passenger side??? Holy Guacamole I don't even want to think about IN THE TRUCK--lol. I guess you do what you have to do. I was lucky enough to have mine in the floor and a 3/4 drive torque wrench with about a 3 foot handle. Bow---are the 90* turns fun in the truck the last 3 pulls?
Did you check your new head for flatness??? International is notorious for their "high quality machine work" on those kinds of tolerences. I'm not above taking a new head to a quality machine shop to have it checked or trued up. It will save you time and heart ache in the future.

yes that was quite fun. Did both sides with arp studs to 245 ft/lbs. passenger side was ok drivers side rear lower stud is not accessable with my torque wrench so i used wrench with cheater to go as tight as i could get it. With the fan and radiator out i could get in there and get some pretty good leverage points and only lost skin on two knuckles so far.
