label the pushrods if you take them out!, otherwise just take your time and follow the service manual

Make sure you know what TDC (Top Dead Center) means.

If you i{think} you know, and you get it wrong, your Blast will get about a block before it shears the bolts that hold the rocker box on. Don't ask me how I know.

Also, a typo in the 2002 manual advised "repeat on other cylinder". Don't!
