Re: water in the oil
In addition to torquing the head nuts, make sure you follow the correct tightening sequence. I did a carbon job on my Model T, new gasket, and followed what I thought was the proper sequence, only to have the water in the radiator end up in the oil. Found out about when I went to hand crank it and it wouldn't turn over because a cylinder was filled with water. Thank goodness I was running plain water at the time, or the bearings could have been ruined. I checked a better source for the tightening sequence on the next go 'round, and no problems since.
