head install ?

When I put my head back on my gsr swap, with the new spoon headgasket and arp bolts, anyone have any special tips on how I can make sure I get a good tight seal ?

I dont want coolant coming out, this is our first time doing it so any tips are greatly appreciated.

make sure you get the torque specs form a helms book. There will be two tighting sequences(sp?) such as 35 frist and then 45 ect.. those aren't the right number just make sure u find the right ones.

there might be a order in which your suppost to put the bolts like like from left then over to the right one and work your way in cuz the metal can worp and just crack if u just flat out put it on. you have to be very careful putting it cuz if u bend the head your gunna have a oil leak and your screwed.

what town do u live in scottfern? you should join us on the central region forums lots of people from the area and chill. like to see ya out there.

yea, that sounds good, hopin to meet some people who know their shit bout b series motors and whatnot!

torque the bolts down halfway first and starting a clockwise circle until you reach the end, then do it again but tighten them down to spec on the second pass, you may wanna use gasket sealant also to help the seal.

tighten the bolts like this:

9 5 1 3 7
10 6 2 4 8
