I just had my cylinder heads rebuilt they were not leaking but since i needed valve stem seals i just had them cleaned and checked the engine has 181k miles, i nstalled them back in the truck following the shop manual, i used felpro mls head gaskets and new head bolts, cleaned the surface of the block with a scraper and a wire brush and torqued the heads to 83 ft lbs in three steps. The first time i torqued them i used an old torque wrench, as soon as the truck started coolant was leaking at the back of the engine and some in the valley. The next morning i loosened and retorqued one bolt at a time in the right sequence with a brand new crafstman torque wrench and is still leaking even more now in the same spots however there isn't any cross contamination of oil and coolant and no sweet smell or smoke in the exhaust. This is my first time doing a cylinder head so i dont know what to do next. The one thing i noticed is that the machine shop didn't leave a smooth finish in the mating susrfaces of the heads the finish looks like little groves and the head gaskets i used were completely smooth they didnt have the rubber or silicone looking rings around the holes. Any advise on what to do next.
