i have cometic head gaskets and did a 3 torque process and even triple checked all my bolts ! i know i did it right.. now the intake maybe a different story i proably should have used more sealer owell no biggie ! i dont mind doing the intake fix but really dont want to have to pull the heads... mechanic said fix the intake retork the heads and clean it up and see what happens ! any suggestions or experiences ...thanks !

I assume you have an oil leak, if so i wouldn't retorque the heads, as your head bolts have sealant on them and i wouldn't want to break that seal retorquing them.

yes i have a small leak in a couple of places if the heads why not retorque the bolts i seen a thread on here of people doing it ?? i mean i understand that i have sealant on the bolts but it needs to be fixed and its worth a try instead of pulling the heads ??
