i have 2000 gt, it popped the head gasket omw home, i tore it all down cleaned it flushed it so far put new head gaskets in, torqued them 40, 60, then 80 foot pounds, my lower intake didnt come with the china rails so i red rtv'd them, new water pump and belt, im just about to put new oil and coolant, and i torqued the rockers to 25 pounds everything else i just cranked down until it felt just right and basically i wanna make sure before i fire it i didnt mess up toooo bad btw i put in new head bolts too but for my first v6 head gaskets i feel confident i want a second say from other whove done it, all fel pro gaskets were installed and a airtex water pump
 


did you use arp head studs? or new head bolts?

new head bolts are 42 fp, then 120 degrees then one row gets another 30 degrees.
