i have done my fair share of research on this site on torque specs..but i have a question/problem. i replaced my head gasket and torqued my head down to 12 ft pounds. i can see a gap between the head and the cylinder. i see all four bolts in the gap but scared to tighten it more. i know the gasket is aluminum and needs to be smashed on the on the lip of the head. im wondering if this isnt happening or needs more pressure to bend/seal the gasket. should i tighten till the gap goes away then back them off and then torque to 12ft pounds?
