Since the weather's so crummy I've had time to finish putting the 560D back together and ran into a pretty big issue. The head was taken to a machine shop and had to be surfaced since it had a slight warp on one end and the valves were done at that time. The head was put back on with studs from Murphy's and torqued to their specs. Long story short, when I filled it up with coolant earlier today I noticed coolant weeping from between the block and head in at least 2 spots on the right side of the motor. This is with the engine off and not under any pressure. The head was already slightly under minimums before it was surfaced but everyone I asked about about it seemed to think it was a non-issue since the head was un-cracked and in otherwise great shape. I'm at a loss as to what is causing this, could being a couple thousandth's under minimums case it to not seal correctly? Head was installed with a new Fel-Pro head gasket. The best I could measure, the sleeve standout was within spec, though I'm not sure how that would relate to my current problem. Any help you guys can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
