the heads were cleaned and machined, all new gaskets everywhere, and a new edelbrock air gap intake. I’m about to go retorque everything because we haven’t checked that post heat cycles. Wonder if that could be it?Typically with used heads and/or intake, it's best to smear a very thin coating of rtv around the coolant ports, to prevent minor leaks like that.
Bolts were really loose. Some were down to only 5 foot pounds when spec is 25. Hopefully it solves it.Typically with used heads and/or intake, it's best to smear a very thin coating of rtv around the coolant ports, to prevent minor leaks like that.
