sepulchral

just finished building my motor, the ****** head to block is leakin oil at a slow but steady rate, its because the chilton manual gives the wrong torque spec sequencee (a non criss cross pattern)
So i put 80 miles on the HG, can i reuse it if i spray it with copper, or do you thing retorquing the head would work without even lifting the head fromt he block??

If i reuse it can i torque it more than 72ftlbs to ensure a better seal??? I'm using ARP HEADSTUDS

What should I DO?

Thanks

Did you have the head checked out? I usually retorque my headstuds after about 100 miles of putting a motor back together, but if its a steady leak, then I'd check out the head and maybe even the block is the machine shop says the head is ok.
