Re: Squealing engine
Had the same squeal with my engine. Spray the front crank seal with oil and squeal would go away, then return after a few hours running. Replaced with modern seal, no squeal and no leak.

The Best website says to use copper spray on their graphite head gaskets. I do and it works well.
