Thanks for all your help! The engine is torn down and we maged it again with no cracks. The shop guys said all they could come up with was the valve seats are leaking. With the heads off the only way to pressure test it is to make a test plate, $250 plus. The shop has done many flatheads. I really don't want to scrap it and my $800, I am lost. Thanks Ron
