Cylinder head re-torque
Is there any need to re-torque the head bolts?Stock engine,150K, Banks PP, hits about 25-30 psi.
Im hoping I dont have a blown head gasket,but Ive got a stubborn coolant leak near the front corner of the head.
I though it was the thermostat housing,but after removing and replacing the stat,gaskets and housing twice,Ive still got a dribble from the same general area.Its a pair of trickles that run down to the waterpump from behind the stat housing.I thought itd be the stat housing,but it still leaks.I cant 100%verify its coming from the head because once the stat housing is in place and I can run the truck,the head/block surface at the corner isnt visible.....
