You've got a pretty good memory! The manual gives the torque for the bolts, and then a lower number for the corner one that supplies oil. I think I read an earlier post when it was suggested to torque to 75% cold and then finish it hot. Is this a good idea or not? I would be worried that without being torqued all the way the head gasket could blow? The tractor had the head and block resurfaced, and the counterbores were redone. What do you think about the spray on sealants? Should I use one or put it together dry?
