Ok I got you are you sure that you only torqued to 65 in/lbs and not foot lbs. I''m not exactly sure but I think the only thing on F-body''s torqued to inch lbs. is the pinion nut. If I''m right then your head bolts are nowhere near tight enough. Check on your torque specs again. Also Reminder tighten the bolts a lil at a time until they get tight. And do it in a criss-cross pattern or you run the risk of not gettin the heads to seat all the way or tearing your head gasket.

the head studs should have a pattern that you are to torque them in. (ex: from top left corner to bottom right corner, to bottom left corner to top right corner. repeat same criss-cross process for inside bolts)

&& 65in/lbs for head studs is far to little, so you prolly didnt seal the gasket tight enough.
