I had a valve job done on my 1950 8N. So I cleaned the head and the block with razor blades. Installed a new head gasket. Torqued to 70 lbs. Filled with radiator fluid and found a thimble full of radiator fluid on the floor the next day.
I can see that it is coming out of the head gasket on the left side of the engine.
Ran the engine, let it cool and torqued to 75 lbs with a result of a smaller amount of leakage. Quite a bit of white smoke at startup which disappears
What did I do wrong?
1 - didn't have the head milled
2 - was I supposed to add sealant to the gasket?
Thanks,
Obie
