Then go with it. I got to 70 on both first time no issues,installing. Going to 80 had some slippage on the washers.

Did he say to start over?

No he didn't. Not sure why but I'm guessing because it is the 8th in the series of ten?

I am guessing that the gasket has settled ok. Anyway, they were really focused on giving me good advice, and that if they had any doubt they would have had me start over.

so you'll Be ok. It’s tough to be real confident when you don’t do this stuff all the time. Trust the experts.

My HG’s are dry as a bone since reinstall so they did not steer me wrong.
