<VV> Head Troubles...

IF they were properly torqued, they shouldn't have loosened. However the 
studs may be pulling out of the block.

Hello:
     Having head troubles on a 64 convertible with a stock motor.  When I 
got the car, it ran fine until it blew a head gasket.  Turns out a previous 
owner had put on later model heads without putting in the necessary bushings 
to center the larger head over the barrels.  The head was trashed, so I got 
the proper 64 heads out of a junkyard, had them rebuilt and then slapped it 
all back together.  Ran fine until it threw a fanbelt and overheated.  Then 
it began to make noises and it turned out the heads were both extremely 
loose.  They were poperly torqued.  Is this a common problem with these 
motors?  Thanks.
