Jeesh...the "Toyman" is literally falling
apart here! Becoming a physical wreck
long before his time. (
(Too many late nights, toking and drinking
combined with weird sexual "gymnastics" and general "over-activity" I
suspect?:)
Anyway...the torque figures in the book for the head consist of
two..."early" and "late"
studs. I've always had the "late" studs
and have always torqued to 50lbs. with
the exception of my '74 Vizardized 1340
which ran 11.0-1, so we went to 60 on 10 studs, and 30 for the front
"bolt".
SLIGHT seepage of oil between the head
and block is really nothing new or anything to be overly concerned
about,
BTW. BTDT with an MGB and Spridget...
over many thousands of miles in each case. As long as compression stays
up
and your not getting oil (or bubbles) in
the water, or water in the oil and the
water temp remains constant when you
put your foot in it and doesn't start
"suddenly" moving upward.
(Spring-in-hose idea sounds capitol as
long as antifreeze is used!:)
