These areas don’t look great. They usually push the gasket into the valley, but no milkshake oil. I always re-torque the Felpro gaskets. The fasteners always turn a bit more after sitting overnight.
I’m going through a motor that had weeping 8553pt gaskets. When I pulled the heads the headbolts broke loose very very easily. Made me wonder if they didn’t even torque them…
So since you mention this, when I put the heads back on (felpro 1008 this time) I might let it sit overnight and retorque.
Do you just go retorque them or do you loosen then retorque?
