1982 Ford F100 head bolt sequence
my 1982 f100 3.8l blew a head gasket and so i replaced it and torqued it to 74fp. when i went to put antifreeze in it, it all just started pouring out. I know there is a sequence for putting them on but i'm not sure if i did it right and/or it wasn't tightened enough because 74 doesn't seem like enough to me but thats what the guy at autozone said. (sometimes i wonder why i bother).
if someone could please help out that would be great thanks!
