<br/>I used copper coat on my Payen AE 330 copper head gasket. 10 minutes into
the new cam run in, the head started leaking out the Driver side corners. I
also had water bubbling up under the head bolt nuts as well on top of the head.
<br/><br/>When I pulled the head, the copper coat just wiped off. I expected it
would have set up. Is this normal? <br/><br/>Just had the head milled so it
is flat and the Payen gasket that was on there previously worked great with no
coating of copper coat visible or anything else. The reason for the tear down
was broken valve springs and a bad Paeco cam. <br/><br/>Is a head gasket sealer
needed? I have pulled heads off of two other stick motors and neither had any,
nor did this race motor. . Also, should water be coming up under the nuts in
the head bolts?<br/><br/>Torque used was 105 ft lbs. <br/><br/>Thanks for your
help. <br/><br/>Ty<br/>Sent from Yahoo! Mail for iPhone
