When i rebuilt my 12v, side distro 8n 80 eng hours ago, I used some hi temp liquid steel putty to reform a flat surface for the manifold to really seal against the gasket. It seems it has burned out in not only the usual area to the "left" of the manifold but also at the front or "right" as well.
Besides re-inspecting the manifold for issues, is there anything engine related that could be causing this to fail again? I know i need to adjust the valves as I have not done that since the valvetrain refresh, but I can't come up with any ideas about what would be causing the gasket to burn up.
Thanks,
Cam
