HELP!
I was filling the radiator after an engine
rebuild as the last step before firing it up.
I started hearing the drip of water under the
car. It was coming out of the exhaust pipe!
I pulled the head and sure enough there was
water in the cylinders. The head gasket I've
got doesn't have "TOP" on either side. I thought I
had figured it out by putting the side with the metal
bridging between the metal rings around the cylinder
bores towards the block. The block has the .30''
counter bore around each cylinder. I've hit the big
red panick button! HELP!
