Here we go, she takes water and leaks something on the ground that doesnt evaporate. But I put it up on ramps today and where the header bolts to the flange, or whatever its called down under there. The bolts must not be tight but it shoots out a liquid. And when it runs it smokes white, bad. It also sprays out the tailpipe. :( Just did the head gasket this summer and had the head milled. The only thing I can think of is that I didnt follow the order of tightening. I did however take each head bolt to 20-40-75 or whatever it is, but i did step them up together. Can you tell if the headgasket blew without pulling it? :?:

Yep...it did. Pull it off.

And this time...I would suggest you to follow the proper torque sequence.
