Head Warped?
Grr.... First I did a search and nothing answered my question.
That being said...
I hydrolocked my old engine..... got a new head and a GSR block.
While putting the head on the block a friend installed the head gasket upside down and backwards which caused oil to pour out everywhere....
Tore off the head again.
Reinstalled with a brand new head gasket. Now the friggin thing has a small leak on the timing belt side plus it appears there is coolant in the oil.... I torqued my ARP head studs to 72 ft lbs.... Should I retorque? It isn't a huge leak so I am just wondering if I just need to torque it down a bit more?
