Never had an issue in ten years.</div><div class="">For the leak issue you have, I’ve found putting Permatex black around the perimeter of the pushrod area on the block and head (both sides of the gasket) solves the problem. There’s not as much clamping force over there, and mine always used to leak too. No more!</div><div class=""><div><br class=""></div><div>Scott Janzen </div><div>’68 GT6</div><div><br class=""></div><div><div class="">On Mar 1, 2020, at 6:29 PM, Brian Dennis via Fot <<a href="mailto:fot@autox.team.net" class="">fot@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><o:OfficeDocumentSettings><o:AllowPNG/><o:PixelsPerInch>96</o:PixelsPerInch></o:OfficeDocumentSettings></xml><![endif]--><div class="">
Any head gasket suggestions for gt6 12:1 motor. Have had chronic oil leak at pushrod side of head. Had same problem with two different heads before this one as well. With a different block. Current Block is zero deck height and head is cut to achieve the 12:1. <div class="">Just wondering what others might be using for head gasket?</div><div class="">Thanks, </div><div class="">Brian<br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><a href="https://overview.mail.yahoo.com/?.src=iOS" class="">Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone</a><br class=""></div>
