no i dont tow anything. i think the 62/65/12 would be a good choise for a some more power while keeping the spooling closer to stock. but truthfully the 62/71/13 stainless spools pretty quick and when i lights it goes from 10# to 55# in the blink of an eye. but now i think i have a nother problem i think i already lost the head gasket.

For the bolt torque sequence, you're suppose to start in the center of the head and work your way out in a spiral pattern.

#140 baby.
Thats what I'm taking mine to for my last re-torque.
1st torque #125
2nd torque #130
3rd torque #135
4th torque #140
Check them at #140 a couple of times.
In between every re-torque is a tank of fuel, right around 500 miles with no more than 15# of boost.

im thinking of just ordering a new head with o-rings cut in and a 5 angle valve job from pure diesel power. not sure if i want to mess around with the old one, plus i dont think anyone around will cut o-rings.
