All knowing flat motor guys; Here is another "issue" with my fresh rebuild.( you guy's were great with the noisy valve (s) information )
I have Evans hig comp. alum. heads, they were "decked " and true.
An upper rear ( toward firewall ) head stud on each side of the motor has a small "weep" of water. I know any is "too much", but typical maybe ?
I was thinking a tube of that aluma-seal powder would do the trick, but it has not.
Have not re-torqued any of the head bolts yet, I think run it for 20 or 30 minutes, get it hot an re-torque then ?
Any thoughts, ideas or comments on the weep and re-tourqe is gladly accepted.
Thanks in advance.
