You put the head on the guide pins 1st.
Then you place the arp washers.
Then you place the studs.

Finger tighten them in sequence.

You can not drop the head onto the studs installed into the block.

You need a can of compressed air to blow out the bolt holes.

And you want to use molly. Desperately.

You can get a tube at your local parts house for right around 5$.
Molly everything you bolt up or screw on.

Because if you know anything then you know the only thing you know is that you never know.
And you don't want to be messing around with grimey threads after you get done putting it together.

That's only half the battle. There's a solid week of tweaking coming up upon completion.

And for christ sakes DO NOT forget to use the high temp RTV on the required spots on the block Before you torque the head.

Or you'll be ripping into the engine from it's nose. Tearing into basically another build type situation to repair your mistakes.

I used the wrong filler and are currently paying for it. HIGH TEMP RTV.
Mui mui importante!

Good Luck.
