    JhonB, thats exactly what i was thinking, im going to open the VC, and re-torque to 80lb. thats what ARP suggested, but i asked around here and also called Mark, they all said 60lb. i shouldv listened to my gut and go with ARP suggestion. Thank, Leo

    it did overheat, maybe 3 times before the head gasket job. i really dont mind doing it all over, its no big deal, sure it sucks, but what can you do. the thing that running in my mind is: - why wasn't the job successful, i followed rave, machined the heads, torqued to spec... - is it possible...

    Valley Gasket to BIG

    it will align itself with the lower intake bolts on. put the clamp hand tight, use rtv on the clamps (both sides) and where the water holes go (both sides). then put all the lower intake bolts and youll be alright. after you torque the lower intake bolts, torque the clamps, done.
