  1. Hi, Hope it's okay to piggy-back with a secondary question. I replaced both head gaskets and all others associated with the components removed to access the heads. I purchased a Craftsman torque wrenth and accessed the bottom rear bolts from under the car. Though the car started right up, it runs rough and notice white smoke puffing from exhaust, and appearance of slow coolant leak from passenger side head dripping onto exhaust. I ran the car <5 minutes, long enough to see the smoke and drip. I think the head bolts need to be tightened/ re-torqued. My question is, how best to resolve?
