What are the chances of a re torque on the head to get the gasket to stop seeping a little? What is the correct torque? if anyone knows
Put a comp and boost elbow on three weeks ago and now the head gasket is wet on the pass side. Already removed boost elbow.

Thanks

 

do you know for sure that its just seeping outside? you can retorque all you want but never had seen any good from it

 

Yes I can see just a slight residue coming down the block, What a shame the engine now has about 25000 miles on it.
I will find out what the correct torque is and check it this morning while it is cold.

Thanks,, Not what I wanted to hear.. ha ha
I guess I will sell the new comp. Didnt even get a chance to tap the pump..

 

Anybody Have the specs for that? Torque sequence and head bolt FT/Lbs?

Thanks

 

Torque spec's are, 66#ft on all bolts in sequence, recheck torque, then # 4, 5, 12, 13, 20, & 21 to 89#ft, recheck torque, then mark the bolt heads and turn additional 90 deg. All torques must be in sequence, the boolts that get 89# are the long bolts. Hope this helps.
