| finished my engine build at last - Turner Engineering 4.6 top hatted block, heads by Peter Burgess, Elring head gaskets held down with a set of JE studs & nuts, Yella Terra roller rockers and pretty much every other moving part replaced by new bits. I set the timing, turned the fuel pump on, it started first press of the button and sounded fantastic through a pair of very lightly baffled 3" pipes

All the time and money I'd put into it since retiring was worth it.
So you can imagine my disappointment a few days later when I found oil dripping from the bottom edge of both head gaskets...
This is probably clutching at straws but in the "old days" before engines used stretch bolts, heads would be torqued and then retorqued after running the engine - I'm not using stretch bolts, if I just retorque the nuts is this likely fix it?
