My monte is dead :(
Do it, extra insurance they won't ever loosen up and back out, if the are like 3.1/3.r they are tourq to spec and done no lash adjustment but I do suggest having the heads on so you won't have to try to line pushrods and all that has up while going to tourq the head down
i'll just apply a little bit
thanks mike
Just did it today that's why 
haha

Heads and rockers on the motor, all torqued down
My handy dandy angle meter i used haha
and I just ended up using my HB torque wrench
Went ahead and got the fitting on the TB, it's going to work PERFECTLY!! thats if I have enough clearance once installed! Lol
While I was drilling the hole, the drill bit caught the edge of the port on the inside of the TB and cracked the outside lip of the TB port
I was able to get some good threads with the tap though, more than half of the fitting is screwed in, in this pic. Nothing a little JB weld can't fix that'll be one of last things I do though
Cleaned up blocked coolant ports on LIM
And my awesome porting on the coolant bypass
lol

All very nice Frank!
After I JB weld it, I'll be painting it silver like my UIM
Got my LIM torqued down yesterday, idk if I updated you guys on this but I ported my TB outlet, somewhat.... Lol about a week ago. Just to match a little better with the ZZP adapter lol
Before:
After: Not pretty but ehh haha
Also got my ISS lube kit and Stock Pcv tube in the mail yestersay
The tube was only $4.44 from GM so I figured what the heck haha
I mostly got it for the connection elbow that goes on the UIM port, just to have a factory look

I have another question.... What do I use for a gasket where the ZZP adapter meets the UIM?? 
could I just use RTV or do I make my own gasket?
