Re-tourque head bolts..

[e30trooper]

yeah, you just fucked up. if anything its not as tight as it was b4. Your going to need to get a new set of head bolts, they are like 20-30 shipped. This is a very easy job since your not removing the head. Dont go cheap around this kind of stuff.

I just went through this. Replaing the gasket and using new bolts didn't solve it. I think the head's warped.

did you tq everything to the right specs ? round 1 ,22lbs . round 2, 90* . round 3 90* ? Clean all that old gasket off?

Dont worry the side of my block has a lil oil , not as much as it had b4 i did my HG.

It's just an M20. Geeze. Torque those mother fuckers down!

new gasket, new bolts and shaved head + proper torque sequence = no leaks.

Of course. This isn't my first rodeo.

There's no final torque spec. Also, they're stretch bolts so you can't retorque them.

+1 for stretch bolts I'm surprised no one said that awhile ago

[Adrian_Visser]

It was said, several times. TTY= stretch.

How dose any one know if they were stretched properly to begin with? and What dose he have to loose, checking the 90 lb torque to start? GL

Very True Indeed. Metric Blue Maybe?
