Ok so my motor I built didnt last long. Burnt a piston pretty bad. So I put together alittle junkyard b7 so I could drive the car to work. b1 block with b7 head. Reused a old metal 3 layer head gasket with a bunch of copper seal. Made my own oil pan gasket with a bunch of hightemp gasket sealer. I have a bunch of old head bolts. What I need to know is, how much should a TQ them down?

Yeah you know it. I have a bunch of d15b1, b2, b7 and few a6s laying around. I think Im going to do the same fresh up job to all of them, put like a 100shot on them and my slicks and trailor my car out to the local meets.

thats exactly right! i took it to an even 50ft lbs. to live dangerously!
