arrr, i been posted few topic about my head gasket and arp problem, well, everything is done right and still having problem,

so i going to do a re tq on the arp head stud on b16a head, since when i went back to do 80lbs from 70 only few outside bolts did move slightly, so i thinking the arp is not moving to a specs that need to be, which mean my head is not fully flat on to block, or whatever mean, now i read about backing them off a little and re tq them, so do i back them off in same partern? or back ward going like 10, 9, 8, 7... and all the same time or back off and re tq the same time? thx

 

If you are going to back them off, You need to untorque them in reverse sequence of assembling them. Don't know history of your other threads, but if you are having sealing issues, you should have checked you block deck and head surfaces before reassembling.
