    3rd, 5th doesn't really matter but yeah that's the general concept ;) Not coast it has to stay in gear so it's engine braking. It's not really going to hurt anything, you might end up fouling a plug or 2 if it's really bad and as long as you keep an eye on the oil level it won't "break"...

    MHG reuse?

    I have everything ready to go then wait till it's tacky then install it and the head, 0 issues doing it this way. If you're using ARP Studs it helps if you glue the washers into the head with grease before dropping the head down over the studs.

    pockmarks in decked block?

    Give it a light rub with some 1200 wetNdry paper using WD40 or crc 5-56 as lube, clean off and depending on how long till it runs spray with 5-56 or for long term coat with grease.
