Oil leaking from heads! Like the title says I found oil leaking out of my heads where they bolt up to the block. I figure I would try to find some torque specs for them. Can't find any threads on here guys that have specs on this. Any know what they are? Thanks for the help. I'll try posting pics of the leak later today.

Thanks Bad Blue. Everything was good. But when I took a second look the leak looks like it might be coming from the headers. Would that just make it condensation and carbon leaking out?

Right on. Now I still need to find a way to help reduce my oil consumption. Burning oil for these cars I read is pretty regular. What's the best way to help this. Catch can maybe?

what kind of gaskets did you use with the header install? if there is black soot around the bottom of the header flange then there is a leak. we always use gm mls manifold gaskets with our header installs.
