Oh Pete…the head gaskets caused me all kinds of issues when I installed them. I’ll see if I can dig up the thread. I had a ton of leakage with copper so at the end of the day, I ended up with the graph tite gaskets and that stopped my leaking into the cylinders (or so I hope). This is why I’m so paranoid about water finding its way into the cylinders.
Here’s the head gasket thread.
