Replacing head gasket in used 96 force 120.<br />apparently the previous owner had no idea what a torque wrench was. This is an outside bolt, water is seaping out, however only out for now! The plugs look ok. Any solutions? Maybe a slightly bigger bolt(micky mouse)<br />The specs are 18 lb. ft. it might not hold. I dont know, I'm about to give up. any help would be greatly appreciated.
