-,- so I do have a new head gasket the thing is how do i estimate 8ft lbs after snugging the head bolts by hand. The old head gasket was doubled which i know its only suppose to be one.

The nb50 head gaskets dont contain adhesive sealant on either side and the head is milled im concerned that the heads out of spec had to stop a few feet from oriely cause it had a lawn mower sound.


In additoon does anyone have an extra nb50 head laying around im skeptical on the sqish after mill.
