My W5 heads have one cylinder that is getting water in it I had them sealed up before I put them on and I keep sealer in it what is the best sealer to put in the radiator to keep it from leaking also I'm looking to run a set of the Edelbrock Victor heads I'm hearing they will make more horsepower than the W5 what's your opinion

Supposedly a common W5 issue from what I have read. Never owned a set though....

You need to pressure test them and see where the leak is. I seen them leak from several places.

Everything is repairable. But just because you can doesn't mean you should.


Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston
