Do you have to retorque a head after using a mitsu metal HG and ARP"S?
I'm getting coolant pushing through my overflow again

QUOTE (awd4kicks @ Oct 24 2003, 03:33 AM) Hey smart a$$ no doubt. I retorqued mine when I did it just to be safe too. Turns out it wouldn't have mattered though, I didn't budge the bolts one bit in the process. Here's the weird thing though. I always hear people bitching about how they never get their metal HG to seal well and they always say that the head and block have to be perfect in order to get it to work. However, when I did mine, I just used the same head I'd been using for a long ass time, scraped most of the old composite material off with a razor blade edge, no copper spray, and just torqued it to 85 ft/lbs in 30 lb increments. Worked like a charm. -------------------- my cars breath smells like car food
