Head gasket leak

[olei]

Update!

I bought new Mr. Gasket 1121G gaskets. These had a black coating now (and not blue coating like the old ones).

Anyways, I sprayed them with Hylomar and installed them. I retorqued the cylinder heads after the first heat cycle.

So far they seem to seal up! No leaks

Awesome! Thanks for the update! It may help others later on.

I have done around 1500 miles so far, and the head gaskets are holding up well using the Hylomar coating.

I'm sure i'll get in trouble here, I have not read every reply, so not to.offend anyone.....but, I have read the opening post.

I would run the 1st choice, 8.88 dynamic with .041 quench. It will run/tolerate less than 30 degrees total timing and barely work around sea level with 91...but it will give that edge on torque the 318 could really use . You will need to run one step colder plug than stock FYI.
