retorq the headgasket to 1/2 of the specs????

[exzercist]

i have a 98 gst and im leaking antifreeze from somewhere under the right side of my intake manifold (oil cap side). umm im pretty sure its prolly the headgasket, but I dont have water in my oil or oil in my water. so it seems like its just leaking from the edge of the head gasket and not affecting anything else? doesnt seem right but who knows. wanted to see if i can retorq the head bolts to like half of the torq specs in the manual. cause i figured maybe they are not as tight so they might be able to torq them a little tighter and not to tight to wreck anything. its not the freeze plugs but i cant exactly see whats leaking because the manifold is in the way. so i have to pull the damn manifold to see whast leaking. so any suggests???????

You could try and retorque the head bolts but if your head gasket is leaking then it will not fix the problem. Just pull the intake and see what might be causing the leak, I know it sucks but you want to make sure that it isn't something easy to fix after you have pulled the head. Later, Keith
