Re: water in the oil
I installed the copper gasket with the seam side up. By seam side, I mean the side where the copper rolls around the the bore opening in the gasket. Smooth side against deck, seamed side against head. The car was in my basement all winter, and it stayed around 60 degrees down there the whole time. The head wasn't cracked last fall, before I removed it, but I'll check it out when I remove it now. I didn't warm it up and re-torque in the fall, as the car was in my basement and starting it would have filled the place with fumes. Today was the first opportunity I had to start it.
