I've recently (2 days ago) stripped a 4.0 OHV and I see no mechanical reason for tightening them together regardless of any article.

Having designed machines you really couldn't attach the intake unless the heads were first torqued where they are supposed to be, it would move the surface the intake gasket was trying to seal to. I'm about to write an article on replacing a 3.0 cam synch (I know it's been done 100 times) but I see no reason for half the steps I read on TRS among others.

Just like taking the door panel off a ranger with electric windows, all the articles have you un plugging the switches when you can poke the entire door handle easily through the hole in the panel created by taking the handle off. I broke a tang on a switch doing it their way I will never do it again if the goal is to just get inside the door.
