Not only does it go in the clyinders, but it also goes in the holes in the bolck where the headbolts go.

Also, like remedy said coating the bolts in oil or some sort of lubricant is reccomended due to correct torque measurements. It takes more torque to tighten a bolt that has no lube as opposed to a bolt that does.

Also, it is recommended that you replace the headbolts after you remove them, but I have also seen the re-used with no problems.vv

Excellent writeup nonetheless
