head gasket leaking oil after rebuild

[vwsb1974]

It's a 12mm engine I am going to try to wash it off today and then give it a week or so to see if it is still leaking. I am wondering if it is just producing to much pressure when it is cold? I have a 100 psi gauge and it will peg the needle when it is cold for the first few miles. Is that normal

The only pressurized oil port through the head gasket is on the injector side between #3 and #4.

Per Bentley one should loosen the bolts by what, 30 degrees of an arc. or approximately 1/6 of a turn then retorque to proper setting.  Just remember all get loosened in order then all get put back in order.  

 I don't agree with loosening them all then tightening them all back up.
 I do it one at a time in proper order.

Yah that is what I did just one at a time. I dont think that loosing them all at the same time would be good.
