Re: 8BA block leaking water from exhaust port ?
Hi Gary,
Thanks for you technical and moral support. I had some head alignment problems last week but redrilled 2 head bolt holes and used helicoils. Would not start last week and a compression test showed 2 adjoining cylinders with low compression because 2 head bolts were off center. After resolving that issue, it started, no problem, and sounds good. Back to body work which is a lot less stressful.......Bob |

Could you elaborate a little more on this issue? Are you saying you re-drilled holes in the head to align the gasket? What type of head? Lonnie |

I had 2 head bolts (#1 and #3) broken studs that were drilled off center and the head would not seat properly resulting in low compression on 2 cylinders I redrilled and installed helicoils, not perfect, but close enough to get the job done.... |
