I pulled the head off of this engine a few weeks ago, no reason other than a small amout of oil leaking out over the past 2 years. Not enought to worry about just thought that 30 year of age had something to do about it. I took the valves out cleaned them up, laped them back in, put new seals on the intake valves and cleaned the top of the block and the bottom of the head up with a wire brush on an angle grinder. Put it all back together using new gaskets, torqued the head bolts to specks in the correct order. Changed all of the fluids and started it up. Now there is a small about of water seaping out around the head. I did not check anything for flatness since I have not had any real problems out of it. Was there supposed to be some sealent used on the brass protions of the gasket where the water goes throught? I have never put any sealent on a head gasket before and the manual I have did not say anything about it. I have not ran it more than about 20 minutes but this sepage bothers me. Any chance of it stopping or did I do something wrong? I am not a professional mechanic but I have rebuilt several engines and worked on more heads than I can remember over the years but this is my first time working on this engine. Thanks for any input.
