If the head bolts were torqued in the wrong pattern could they be loosened and re torqued in the correct pattern would the heads and gaskets still be all right?

Do you put sealant on the intake manifold gaskets?
Since intake manifold to head is a at a slant the gaskets are hard to keep in place then gasket sealer usually will be needed.A light thin layer of orange RTV on both intake and cylinder head will facilitate installation. A thin layer smeared on the head and then allowed to set-up partially first can hold the gaskets in place while the intake is set down on the heads. Let it set up before applying gaskets There should be 4 gasket parts on an 8 cylinder. Be sure all surfaces are clean and flat (true) without warpage. Bolts tightened in correct sequence and torqued is imperative!

You replaced the head gaskets on your 2003 Ford Taurus and did not put it at tdc. when you put it back together and started it it runs worse than it did before What could be the problem?
if u had to mess with the timing and u didnt put it at tdc then your just off a bit another thing is normally when u replace head gaskets u also should we place all gaskets such as intake,exhaust,valve cover ect.. cause when u take things off that are supposed to be torqued down the gaskets are flatten and should not every be reused of course i dont know what the car is doing but check for vaccum leaks and timing
Why do headgaskets leak?
Hey Lori==Several things can cause them to leak. The most common one is to overheat the engine. This causes the gaskets to burn between cylinders. Sometimes head bolts break because of a faulty bolt. Sometines the head isn't torqued properly. GoodluckJoe
