What is the best way to seal a head gasket the first time. I installed new rings and had a valve job and cracks repaired in the head, done on my H. I got it running and let the motor warm up.It kept dieing on me which I thought might be a carb problem. When I removed the valve cover to re-torque the head and check valve settings I noticed water coming from the middle head bolt. I removed the head and there was water on top of the block. When I installed the head I used 2 coats of copper gasket sealer and working from the center out I torqued it to 30lbs then 50lbs and finally 70lbs. I also degreased the top of the block with brake cleaner before installing the head. Should I remove all of the head bolts and sand the top of the block or what? Head gaskets are expensive.
