Re: 1931 model a engine
Usually that would indicate a leaky head gasket, so you were correct to take the head off. Clean up the mounting surfaces as I said and use the graphite gasket as Bruce said. Use the spray copper coat gasket cement. Check to make sure the head mates to the block well. There should be no more than 0.002 inch gap anywhere when you lay the head on the block without a gasket.
