Put new gaskets, follow procedures, cross your fingers, click your heals twice.. hope your assembly was done correctly.

You will get 100 different opinions on how to do this, as will there be 100 different theories.

Clean, absolutely flat, smooth, oil free surfaces(deck/heads) and a calibrated TQ wrench.. The ARP bolts will require modifications to the headers, the factory bolts are TQ to yield and must not be re-used..

Stock car, Felpro PT9441 and ARP bolts TQ to 85 ft lbs in 3 steps. This is how I do them. 40,60,80,85.

Pandoras box...

You created 200 dollars worth of un-needed headache.
