So I am putting my cam in(motors out of the car) and check PTV clearance, so I take the heads off, check it. And put the motor back together. As I torque down the new bolts and new gaskets, on the last pass...... It gets pretty tight for a second, and then stress relieves...but I hear a like...vacuum release. I look at the side of the block and a verrrrrrrry little amount of coolant is there. It seems like...the coolant got pushed out of a pore in the block. I see no crack or anything..
What happened, and did something break? haha. I have rebuilt a bunch of motors....and first time I ever have seen this.

yea...figures my luck. Well, I am not replacing it haha. Looks like it will have to go in and run and literally blow up.
If I tell my parents I cracked my block tightening down my heads, things won't go well.
