Brumfield head gasket
Last spring I put a new head gasket on my engine with the 5.9 Brumfield head. I had the head off searching for a noise that ended up being a metal timing gear. I used the fel pro 7013 as recommended by Larry Brumfield with new studs and nuts and copper spray, and a half tube of radiator sealer. I retorqued the head four times and did not have any leaks, but after the engine and drivetrain have been sitting for about four months waiting on body work, I am getting a weep of coolant down the left side of the engine. Should I retorque the head or replace the gasket again? Will the Best brand gasket work with the Brumfield head and should I use new studs and nuts again? Thanks, Art
