1000 miles on rebuilt engine leaking head gaskets WHY?
My 389 was rebuilt from a engine shop here in Tn, He used the Felpro gasket set to rebuild the engine the head gaskets were not the race ones. I believe they are the no retorque ones perma. Is that really true? Dont all head gaskets need to be retorque after they get hot then cold? Here are a few pics, you can see its near every bolt. I do not have anti freeze in my oil, the egine never 0ver heated. Will the retorquing the head bolts do the trick? Please any comments would be appriciated. I have $5,000 in the engine and its leaking anti freeze. The shop charged me $1,800 to do the break down and reassemble, I bought all the parts rods TRW Pistons cam lifters so forth,They did the start up and break in on a stand. Heads have been milled to clean them up. Runs great no smoke coming out tail pipe. Passenger side looks worse than driver side.
