Well in the process of changing the water pump, i did a pressure test of the cooling system once I had the intake removed as I have had a minor coolant leak that i couldnt find. Well found it and its at the seam of the heads and the block, pretty uniform and tiny. In reading I realized the heads have not been retorqued since the motor was redone, so I am believing this to be the issue. I have read in the manual the the angle method, I have read that there have been people that run the torque up to 80lbs. Is there a general value that is tried and true?? And what about the lifters as far as adjusting them, I dont know that they are especially noisy but then again I never heard the car run prior to getting the motor work done, so not sure what to expect regarding the sound of them.
Thanks.
