Thanks mad hooker .

Will i need to get new head gasket since i have to take the head back off ( i torqued all them down) ? I have ultra seal gaskets on it .
If i don't need to change it then do i need to spray it with something ?

If you didnt get it hot by running it you should be ok.

I had a head bolt snap upon installation. I changed the gasket ( Fel-Pro PermaTorque) For 20. why take a chance.
