Jesse,
    That sure stinks. I assume new gaskets were used. Can you tell what side
of the gasket it is leaking from? Head side or block side? I can not see how
re-tourqing is going to do any good unless it is leaking at the internal,
cylinder seal. I am assuming it is the outer, black rubber gasket you are
talking about.
    I have heard some people are starting to apply the RTV sealant to BOTH
sides of the gasket. The last engine I worked on had a badly pitted sealing
surface on the engine block. It took a lot of work to build it back up.
