Today was to be the day I started the engine. Things were going well. I had The JME dash in, the "no-spark" problem fixed,( bent over coil terminal), and the staitic timing set at 8 BTDC. I started filling the radiator and I noticed drips from under the engine. Then, I noticed I had drips on both sides. It looks like the water is comming from the junction between the head and block. It was dripping at a good rate from both sides. I thought I had forget to plug something but everything looked OK. The head gasket is allowing water to seep out along the head. I can't figure out what has gone wrong. There was no pressure on the water side. I'm postive I put the head gaskets in correct and torqued the bolts properly.
Guys, I'm stuck on this point. I drained the block to prevent any water from getting into the oil until I figure out what went wrong. All ideas would be most welcome. I quite bummed right now.
Thanks,
Eric
