Timing was off a tooth.Checked the heads while I was at it just the head bolts. None of them have the same torque some at 90 some at 95 shouldn't they be tighter?

They might differ depending on length, girth, etc


There's really no way to tell if they were torqued correctly, UNLESS you loosen them and go back through the torque sequence. Loosen THEN torque ONE AT A TIME on first step....IF you decide to do anything.
