...and I forgot to mention that this is the Elring head gasket. Elring tells you NOT to re-torque the head. When I installed, I torqued in the three phases, the last being 65lbs, plus 90 degrees.
Have you ever heard of coolant seeping out of the exhaust manifold like this? Would the gasket need additional torquing only 400 or so miles after installation?
By the way, my heat's not working very well now, either. Don't know if it's related. I've changed out the heater core and blower motor, and changed to the 82-degree thermostat and thermofan switch. Going to see if the blower housing flap control arm is still connected to the actuator or not. But it wouldn't otherwise somehow be related to the head gasket thing, would it?
