Put the correct diameter wire in the o-ring grooves or get the wire in the groove.

How do you know the oil cooler is good; did you pressure-test it? How much torque are you giving the headstuds?

Torqeing head studs to 145. And ya I meant. .002 this phone sucks. Originally I blew head gasket out front of head oil everywhere I only torqued to 125. This time I did standard size gasket went to 145 did 4 hot retorques on it and now have oil in radiator found a peice of hg in radiator but head gasket looks mint on this one orings crushed it good.
