Default Re: Weard leaks

I don't think that it should leak after installation of new head gasket.

Everyone seems to have a different way of going about installing a new head gasket. If you are putting in new studs check each one to see if it goes into the water jacket. I put a bit of Indian Head shellac on the threads going into the block on each stud.
I use two light coats of copper coat spray on the copper head gaskets allowing the solvents to flash off between coats. Install the head while the gasket is still a bit tacky.
