Growth rate is decent from yesterday

The stud was clean and I used a allen wrench to tighten them by hand didn't really get that much torque on them

Yes it's just a oem gasket and headstuds really are not that much more expensive. Surface is surprisingly smooth. I'll prob take some acid tone to it after I heli coil the block.

Thanks guys

Oh I see. Well I heli coil the block tomorrow and see if I can save it.

Well it's not cracked I tried to re tap it and put the head back on but can't even go past 20ft lbs

I retrct my offer for you. I'll delete my comment

I always take my time and triple check shit even if I'm sure. It really sucks if this block is trashed.

Thanks guys... Figured I didn't do anything wrong or different then any other time I've done this. But shit happens I know I'm a curse.

It's a Craftsmen Torque wrench relatively new. I used the supplied ARP Lube and applied it to the threads that go into the block like ARP says to do.

Well they were as tight but not torqued I was only using a allan key. I'm pulling the head this coming afternoon.

So today I was finishing up a 7mgte head gasket job. I used a tap to clean all the threads in the block and put in the head studs using a key nice and tight with the arp lube. Placed all the washers in place and continued to torque them down in order per tsrm. Got them torqued to 75ft lbs...

lol yeah maybe :)

It does suck but its only a car and life is what it is. Plans now hmm well that's undecided I need to figure out what happened was it a machine shop that didn't do its job or a shitty oil pump or something I did... Who knows I will fix this its not the end of the world pulling a motor is not...

Unsure I'd have to ask Steven.

Nice

I think you're right. Just wish I knew what caused it. :-/ car has not been driven more then 1,700 miles since I got it back. Never ran more then 9psi lol. Just sucks.
