Hi,
I just finishing installing a 5.9 cummins in my friends 92 Ford F150. The engine was out of a 91 D250 and is intercooled with 190K and it was very well taken care of until the truck fell of a lift and was totaled. It is mated to a Ford ZF trans. Anyway 100 miles later it developed a water leak and it appears to be the head gasket. It is directly under the thermostat housing. I have a few questions, is it normal to retorque the head? If so is there a different torque spec or sequence? Is it normal for them to leak here? My last question is how long are the pushrods? I am worried about getting the back 2 out due to firewall / cowl clearance.
Thanks,
Justin
