puke87 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Posted August 18, 2010 I just put a new head and head gasket on and it is leaking. It over heated at the dunes and water was coming out from around the studs and nuts. it is only leaking through the gasket now. just wondering if i just need to tighten it down some more. any suggestions would help. thanks Quote

The idiot who built my first motor didnt have any squish gap., so the piston was "love tapping" the head. then Boom!! Hopefully this is not your case Quote
Phelps Posted August 18, 2010 Report Posted August 18, 2010 buy acorn style nuts, or silicone the threads. some aftermarket heads don't separate the water jackets from the studs and water will seep through the threads. Quote
