I have a 1990 Diahatsu Rocky, had a blown head gasket,,, took the head to the local machine shop, had it checked for cracks. The head and valves were ok.... The bolts were Ok and I reused them torque them to specification. I replaced the timing belt and tensioner at the same time. Worked out just fine...... since then I have replaced the starter,,,,, first one would not engage,,,, bought and used a Bosch SR4602X. I have misplaced my CD that was purchased a while back, Would like to adjust valve clearance, but will haft to wait until I can find the gap measurements. Have a great time with your Rocky.
