I used lead washers on all the head bolts. The head that I used was off of a tractor that didn't have a leak problem. I checked the push rod tubes but didn't put pressure on them. I may remove the front tires and see if there is a leak that way. I don't have the tappet cover on yet thinking if the tubes were leaking it would run out in front but if I lower it like you said that would eliminate them. How much pressure and what's a good way to pressurize the head and block? Was thinking of using a model A tube. Still would like to know the best way to use the waterglass.
