I just got done fixing a spun road bearing I had to turn the crank and pull the head to remove the piston to have the rod bearing surface fixed since the bearing spun and wrecked the rod also.
Anyway put it all back together new gaskets and the head gasket in the front half the engine is leaking. I torqued it down to 70lbs starting at 25, 50 then 70 and 25 on the 3/8 studs. I started in the middle then worked in a chriscros pattern to the outside. Could someone tell me the correct way to torque the head? I have heard to run it to seal the head but that just doesn't seem right. I have a lot of money in it to fix this spun bearing. any suggestions on why the head is leaking? I will say I thought I had the matting surface cleaned well. I know the block was good.
Thanks
does anyone have the part number for just the head gasket?
