Ken-
Does there appear to be more water sitting at the rear of the cyl head when
you take the vc off? Unfortunately, the block often cracks at the rear stud
and the water immediately finds its way out of the cooling system and up the
stud and onto the head. Try running it with the vc off and see if water
appears as if by majic at that stud. If so, try wrapping solid core solder
around the stud betwixt head and washer, put washer and nut back on, re-torque
and pray...
If all that looks good, I'm afraid you've got to repeat everything you just
did with new fo 8's...bummer.
Leakin a little myself...

Subject: [Fot] water in the oil
fot, i just finished a rebuild on my tr3 race motor. i ran it for about 1
hr. and was very disappointed to find water in the oil. the water appears as
drops in the oil on top of the head. there is a milky film inside the
valve cover, there was about 1 qrt of water that came out first when i
drained
the oil. also the water seems to be leaking out at the rate of 1 table
spoon/day even though the car isn't running. it has to be the figure 8
gasket,
the head gasket or both right? any tests that i could run to find out
which? the motor is 87mm,10.5/1 cr, figure 8 gaskets with copper coat, liners
up
.004"/.005", copper head gasket with a sealant. all ideas, tests,
theories, suggestions welcome. anyone successfully running the composite head
gasket with the head milled to where the intake pocket is removed? thanks for
the help, ken m.
