Help!! I have the middle bolt in the Cylinder Head of my 8N engine leaking radiator fluid.
Recently I had tried to remove a bracket on the carbureator linkage that was held on by a Cylinder Head Bolt. When I removed the head bolt it was worn at the threads and almost looked cross threaded. I proceeded to use a thread cleaner to clean up the threads in the Cylinder head. I then attached the bracket with the head bolt and tightened it down. I was pleased because I was able to tighten the bolt and figured the dressing of the threads did its job.
Today I poured in antifreeze in the new radiator and then found out quickly that I had green antifreeze coming out of the head bolt hole (it is the black headed bolt in the picture).
Any suggestions on if this is fixable without removing the head of the engine??
