Re: Front seals
Was the seal installed properly? If you are not careful, the seal lip can roll under.

Re: 1939 radiator overflow tank?
Are you using anti-freeze? If so this could be the problem. Years ago when I got my 39, I had the same problem. I put a glass tube in one of the top hoses and could see the coolant foaming. The...

Re: Stuck Valve ?
Turn the engine to get the lifter on the base circle. Tap the valve down carefully. Turn the engine over and repeat.

Like Pete said, I would expect some worn lobes. You could take the heads off and check valve lift with a dial indicator. Worn lobes would show lesser valve lift.
