"02" 5.3 W/Iron Block, Head Bolt Torque I've read the thread here that gives torque sequence and values for stock head bolts & ARP head bolts. Should the same torque values given be the same for ARP head studs & nuts as the ARP head bolts? Would there be a difference in values for aluminum heads and cast iron block? I've just swapped heads, I'm useing stock steel GM shim gaskets & ARP studs and I'm getting some antifreeze sepage between the block and heads (both sides) below the exhaust ports. More so when engine is cold. No water seems to be getting into the engine. nothing in oil and no noticable engine skip. Please any ideas
