[V8] Retorqueing heads

[QSHIPQ at aol.com]

ARP's will press that cylinder head tighter than the stock twisted head  
bolts, by a far margin.  Again, if that's the problem.  If it's not,  you've 
created another one.

I've  also figured out that this must be a sealing problem with the head 
gasket  and those oil pipes.

A few Mercedes engines used in the w124 series  E-class (E280 / E300-24v / 
E320) also had the same problem.
Mercedes  made a new head gasket, så when you change the head gasket the 
problem is  gone forever.

Audi has obviously not done this. Instead we're left to  suffer leaking 
engines.

And what would a set of ARP's help me?  Would I be able to press the cylinder 
head and block that much more  together?
