You don't even need a torque wrench for that. I'm thinking we didn't tighten them down enough but that seems awfully low. I was figuring around 200 ft lbs.

And if you torque all down the entire torque spec, it'll warp the head too.......you gotta do it in thirds (well, thirds for maybe machining stuff)....or at least in half to avoid warping.
