Still leaking?!!!!!!

USMC302 · 03-28-2005, 09:38 AM

Too much torque? The engine builder said I should be good up to 100ft/lbs.??

Since I am going to do this one bolt at a time with the "555", do you think I should just go with studs?

Since the heads have been on other cars with no problems I think you block is out of whack.

I torqued my aluminum heads down to 30 and then 50 and then 70 ft lbs.

I am using the same gaskets as you with ARP head bolts.
