head gasket question........

[SPOOLIN]

hummmmm, that helps, no one ever told me to retorque the head after 800 miles,
after the car hit 1000 miles it was taken to the dyno...... i think thats were i messed up!!! DAMN>

800-1k miles for even after several heat cycles within a week. You shouldnt really have to retorque more than once, but i would check them for the hell of it anytime you pop the cams out. Sometimes when you go to retorque for the first time, nothing will have changed, but better safe than overheating.

yes, thats what happened, the car started overheating, i didnt let it go all the way up to the redline, but the coolant started to shoot back through the reservoir tank.
does that mean that the head lifted????
did i mess up something else????
