I see!.I kinda figured,something in me told me,a feeling, boot a good idea. .
Ok I will try that. I did but a bottle of k&w head gasket and radiator sealer,orange bottle, you pour it in and drive. Thought perhaps after a few more days, maybe the block itself might be cracked...
I used a a.c. Delco torque adapter.I do know in 3 bolts the readings had read about 202 inch lbs,not 190, because I had too use the adapter in reverse order.normal would be ratchet, extension,afaptet,3/8 bit. Because the adapter was too big too fit in,I did ratchet,adapter,extension,3/8 bit. I noted it gave a diffetent torque,feeling. So wanted too check without loosening the manifold bolts first, the exact torque,with a bow type torque wrench.
