im so glad i didnt start taking the head off, oh and when i put the rtv on i put the head on right away, just didnt torque...
tomorrow ill check the radiator cap and thermostat, and do a compression test, but i just have this bad feeling that the gasket material got hard at the front of the engine before i torqued the head down, so if the compression is bad in cyl #1 then i think ill know for sure, dang i wanna start...
had problems with car overheating, so i:
-resurfaced block
-resurfaced head
-arp studs

ok a few heat cycles is what?? a week, a couple days of driving or what?? and what should i tourque the arps to? i was told 85 ft lbs but the guy used bolts not studs like me, and retourqing is only required once right?
