Contrary to what others have posted, you must back off the bolt to properly re-torque them. What you have to do is one at a time. Back it off a 1/2 turn and then torque to 100 ft lbs in one motion. If you just try to torque them when they are tight, the breakaway torque is much more than the actual torque value. It wont be accurate.

Those are leaking pretty heavily. Not sure a re-torque will fix it. I wonder if the head bolts are bottomed out and keeping the gaskets from sealing. I'd have to agree with an earlier post. Heads need to come off and see what the issue is.
Serious damage will occur if a cylinder fills with coolant and you try to start the engine. Broken pistons and bent rods. Not worth the risk in my opinion to just torque the head bolts again.

These pictures are recent from a cold week or two sitting. I noticed anti freeze on the ground. The cold temp seem to really make it leak.

Actually I torque initially to the low end of the range run it up to brake in the cam and check every thing, once I feel its all good I loosen up the head bolts , then retorque to the top end of the range. run it up again and check for everything then I do the block seal routine |
