is it possible that when i used different extentions when i torqued the heads down that, it was enough difference to cause a leaky head gasket.
Tonys89GT said:Rule of thumb is increase torque 1/2 lb for every 1" of extension used. The torque spec for the headlbolts is 65-72 on the final sequence, so even with a short extension and no increase you will still hit the 65, so I would say unless you had like a 12" extension, thats not the problem.
The firt time Is 55-59. The second round is 65-72.natestang5.0 said:my haynes manual only said to torque them to 59 ft lbs maybe thats the prob
