OK, about 3 weeks ago i started taring down my irocz 305 tpi to fix the headgasket problem, i bought remanded heads and gasket kit, tonight i finally got it all back together, the car started right up but its leaking antifreeze on the driver side from what looks to be the block did i not torque down the head tight enough?

 

you can try retorqing them if you like might work

 

i'm hoping its something else so i dont have to undo what i just did

 

What kind of sealer did you use on the head bolt threads?

 

when i was in school they taught us one this one principle called the hands of man. essentially it means that if something doesn't work the way it should and someone was doing work in that area it's most likely (99.5%) caused by the work performed. think of when somethin just breaks in your car, most of the time it's when you're driving it. never when it's just sitting there off, unless it's something slow like an oil leak or rust. so the work you just performed is always the best place to start.

 

yeah im fairly new to working on cars so your right...but this is just pissing me off because of all the time im spending and i need it to get me to work soon

 

Excuse me, I must have missed it... what kind of sealer was that again?
