Re: Something wrong
Also be certain to torque in the proper sequence, as described in the Service Bulletins or many other sources.

Re: Something wrong
They may be moving but are they closing? Compression test to see. If not that, then it is a blown gasket.

Re: Something wrong
All is well again,gasket was blown and is replaced,everything else is checked,oil pan is cleaned out and new oil,new coolant and at the same time the upper water neck replaced because the old one was too thin at one side(0.5 mm).
Yesterday i drove it about 70 km trip and no more problems......Happy again.

Re: Something wrong
Head gasket needing to be replaced is really not uncommon. If you own a Model A long enough, it’s going to happen.
Now that the head is off. I would recommend that you have your mechanic check the head to make sure it is true, (flat). Easier now than finding a leak after you get it back together. Enjoy. |

Re: Something wrong
Be sure to retorted several times. The torque will fall off.

If you have original style valves with the mushroomed stems, then 15 thousands should be fine. If you have adjustable valve tappets with modern valves, then I would use I-.10 & E-.13.
