i have a question about torqueing the heads on 1998 4.0 ohv. i have just recently replaced the 2 new heads lifters new gaskets on my explorer . i fired it up and i am geting antifreeze in 5&6 cylinder. took a wet and dry compression test these are the readings first the dry results 1-160 2-120 3-180 4-180 5-120 6-165 wet test cylinder 1-180 2-180 3-200 4-200 5-180 6-180 .is it posible that it is coming from the head gasket with this kind of compression.i am wondering is it posible to re torque the heads with another new set of head bolts annd use the same gasket? ( i am not removing the heads. how about the intake manifold gaskets? i am loosing my mind and looking for looking for ans. dan
