Ok that will help the specs I had were for 14 ftlbs I did do the 2 step 10 then 14 in criss cross but if 16 is what it should have been then that may very well be what my problem was. Then again it might have been fine if I hadn't been driving it like I stole it. I ordered a complete gasket kit should be here by Friday. Will do both head gaskets with new ones and make sure my oil passages and vents are all clear as I go back together. One good thing about it blowing was I was able to see the volume my oil pump is putting out and it's definitely very good flow took all of about 10 seconds to puke half a quart when I started her to verify leak location. Good thing I had topped it off before hand. I'm usually way more picky about checking things and verifying when doing engine work. Just been kind of sloppy with this thing and those are the results I'm getting in return. Need to just slow down and do it the way I know it should be done and make it take as long as it takes.
