I'm sure it's pretty straight forward but I just want to make sure I'm doing it right, so is there a write up for pulling the VCs?

Pulled the drivers side VC and everything looked good. I'll pull the passenger side tomorrow. VC had a few rust spots so I sanded and painted it. The bottom edge was really rusty. Damn salt they put on the roads is brutal.

Did you remember to torque down the injectors and rocker arms while you had it off?

I wanted to but I don't have an in/lb torque wrench. Only a ft/lb 1/2" drive. Now that I know it's not that hard I can do that soon. Everything looked really clean in there.
