The problem is probably a blown head gasket or a cracked head. They are prone to that condition. Re-torquing is not the solution. I think that engine is made in Agentina

Suggested Repair

Do not re-torque the cylinder head. Inspect for a blown head gasket or a cracked cylinder head, which these engines are prone to.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 2000 Sunfire asked for cylinder head re-torque specs after being told the head should be adjusted again after 100,000 miles, in connection with a water leak not coming from the pump. The expert said re-torquing is not the solution and that a blown head gasket or cracked head is the more likely cause.
