I forgot to pull them last night, but I will tonight. It’s not whitish milky like a severe failure, just looks like dirty oil. No oil in the coolant though, not low, and the missing coolant from the overflow tank could easily be that that I only bled the coolant once, it may have pulled a little in to equilibrate.

I have read several times that you follow ARP’s torque specs, but repeat it three times. On top of that I have heard builders say that once it’s been heated up to perating temp once, you should re-torque once more.
