Starting head bolt torquing finishing later? Man Today was a crazy day! Cleaning up the bolt holes and block service for a head install takes FOREVER!!!!!!
Anyways I started the driver install Torqued them all in sequence to 22ft\lbs and then did the sharpie horizonal line. Then I started looking for my 3/8 breaker bar...no where to be found. Then I started looking for my 15mm 1/2 socket its no where to be found. ( I think someone barrowed them and did not return them)
So its 12:30 I try the first bolt with a regular 3/8 ratchet.. NOT happening I got it about 3/4 of the way through to vertical... So my question is this Chris (Viseral) is coming over in the morning to help out .
Are the bolts and gasket going to be OK to finish up then? Probably fine but I want to check I'm paranoid as hell. The dealership is two blocks away I can see if they have a new set of bolts. I already have an extra set of metal gaskets I think I can use....
Thanks!
