Hello list,
I put Antifreeze in my 66 Herald today, hoping to be able to start it
for the first time in years, and I see coolant leaking between the head
and block on the drivers side of the engine dribbling down to the back
of the block(doh!!). I pulled off the valve cover, and it looks like
its comming from between the # 2 & 3 cylinder. Im pulling off the head
tomorrow. The engine has just been rebuilt, but I did not resurface the
head or block. Im hoping that at worst I need to resurface the head (I
don't want to pull the engine again, and I really don't want a cracked
head [I spent a lot of time porting and polising this one]); or do you
think my chances of it being just a bad head gasket are any good? Any
suggestions or comments? They are all appreciated!
Oh, and to put icing on the cake: the exhaust hangar on my 65 Ford
Galaxie broke today as well!
Thanks,
Eduard Tieseler
