I guess when you torque the rest down that extra bit it probably raises the torque on the end ones to match or be somewhat close.

The cold side ones are blocked and a couple of the hot side ones only have a small hole. I guess they do that to control the temps on the head. I read in a forum that someone drilled theirs out but they probably made a mistake I'm guessing.I got that torqing info today from the local ford too and it's starting to confuse me. The instructions on the gasket are different again. What do I do?

Will this cause trouble?It did say to have the surfaces clean in the instructions.
