    Yea, well, if they are the factory head bolts that have been reused, buying a new headgasket isn't going to fix a thing. Over torquing them isnt the solution either. I'm assuming you didnt build the motor yourself.

    1. If there are OEM headbolts, replace them with ARP Head studs.
    2. Make sure the headgasket is good. Replace it anyway to be safe instead of sorry.
    3. Torque everything down to spec!!!
