Thanks! I just torqued the head and about to attach the exhaust now. If the string fails, I'm going right to clipping!
Edit- I haven't even been done with tightening the head bolts for 10 minutes and already I'm worrying "I remembered to make sure I didn't leave a socket or some bolt in a cylinder before I remounted the head? Right?"
