Default Re: Head Gasket Seeping Above Serial Number

Re torquing the head bolts is a maintenance thing. The sequence is not important. If it has not been done in a while, start at 45 foot-pounds, then 50, then the final 55 foot-pounds. You don't have to back the nuts off, but if you do, just do one at a time.
