I shoot for 55# on the head nuts and 45# on the two gooseneck nuts. The head I do in sequence excfept forn the goosenek and I do the head in three steps one at 35#, next at 45#, and then the final torque at 55#. Meanwhile the gooseneck nnuts are slowly tightened in 6 or moe steps, a little aqt a time

Have not tried, but have read on the goose neck - remove it, insure it is flat by filing it flat, or using sand paper on a piece of glass. Insure the head side is flat. Use a paper gasket, or some just put skim coat of sealer with no gasket.
