One other thing that comes to mind, (just a thought, so please don"t take offense), is the torque sequence.
I"ve always been told to start in the middle, and work towards the outside, and also, to torque "in stages", in other words start low, and work up to the final setting.
It seems like, that on my "A" the final setting was 125 ft.lbs. for the head, but, it"s been a few years since I did it, so the value may not be correct. I also used the lead washers from JD under the nuts....
Good Luck!
