Head bolt loose
Would like your advise please on an issue that I just had noticed. My 1965 GTO with original 389 which had been rebuilt in the late 70’s. It was off the road and garaged for 15 years due tri power carb leak. Well I have it up and running now and have put about 200 miles on it around town. Today with the smell of burning oil I noticed that the passenger side head bolt had oil around it. Touching the washer and it had movement. Put a socket on it and it moved with little effort. Definitely not 95 foot lbs. question is can I go ahead and retorque all bolts in the specified order or do you think that gasket is shot. This was the lower bolt aft of #2 cylinder. Car has cast iron heads. All factory. Thanks. Chris
