Re: torque all head nuts
On my most used car, the cold cranking compression is 110 psi + or - 2 psi on all cylinders. I use a copper high temp gasket sealer and a BEST graphite gasket. I go through a heating and retorquing process like that described in the Brumfield article above. I torque to 55 ftlb and have no trouble.
I always use an antiseize lubricant on the threads. What I do has worked for me so I will stick with it till it doesn't and why would it suddenly stop working?
