ok i replaced the intake manifold on my 79 uncles vette (350c.i.) and i also replaced the left head gasket (it was leaking). but now after i put it all back together the other head gasket started leaking (a small amount of water comes out of the # 2 and 6 cylinder) and i already torqued all the bolts down to specs. i believe the reason it started leaking is because my cousin said that he loosend and retightend all of the head bolts on that head after i left. well my uncle needs this car by wensday and i was whonderin can he drive it around with all the other spark plugs in and leave the one where the cylinders leak out? and maybe the heat from the engine will seal the head gasket again. because i just don't have the time to fix it again. any advice would be appreciated. and yes i know my cousins a damn jerk.
