5.0L (1979-1995) MustangTechnical discussions on 5.0 Liter Mustangs within. This does not include the 5.0 from the 2011 Mustang GT. That information is in the 2005-1011 section.
I was wondering if anyone else has had any oil around the lower head bolts. I was thinking it cant be any head gasketissues since those bolts go into the water jackets...right? I just checked the torque setting and all was good and i dont feel or see any oil coming from the valve cover gaskets. Any info would give me a piece of mind, i hate doing head gaskets.
Nope, seen this on a 1968 camaro and he would smack his headers on the ground when the car bottomed out. The stress from that impact falls right on the head bolts.
