Guys,

My rebuilt, 60-over, 440 runs great except for the fact that passenger side head gasket (8519 PT) apparently didn't seal. I tore it apart tonight and it was leaking coolant into the No. 4 cylinder, but the gasket wasn't blown. The motor has Eddy aluminum heads and only 9:1 compression.

Before I took the heads off, I checked the torque on the bolts, I didn't get any movement at 70 foot lbs. However, when I undid the bolts, they seemed to undo at varying degrees of effort, and I wonder if that was problem.

Anyway, I am ordering new gaskets and am going to try again. Does anyone have any advice? I have successfully changed head gaskets before without any problems, I am not sure what went wrong.

Thanks.

Greg
