idk if the trinity uses washers to seal, or o-rings in the halfs, but put some sealant on the threads, and make sure the studs aren't chewed up from using a wrench or pliers to intstall them. after a coupele heat cycles, you need to retorque the head

I had the same problem with my modquad head. I threw some copper washers, acorn nuts (they didnt come with acorns) and some Permatex non-drying thread sealant, works like a charm!

I just went to a local hardware supply joint with the stock head nuts, and had them match with some acorns and washers.
