I put a new head gasket in and antifreeze was coming out in between the block and head. So I put some silicone down. Now it is coming up through the push rod holes. Whats going on here? Is there more parts to the head gasket? Did I put the gasket on up side down?

Thanks

guy,
sounds like you need to pull your head off again to check your sleeves, so your probably gonna need a new head gasket anyway.
You can install those things backwards I think, but the main thing is to make sure no holes/ports are covered by the head gasket. Depending on your engine, there is a coolant bypass port, not big, maybe 3/8" or so, on one end of the block that you need to make sure isn't covered by the head gasket.
Last time I had mine off, I used that copper head gasket sealant spray stuff on it when I re-installed the head gasket/head, torqued according to manual, ran the engine ~1/2 hr, let cool to the touch, then re-torqued again. Give that a try to see if it works for you.

As Gerard has said it could be a liner protruding above the face of the block, it could happen if you turned the engine over when the head was not fitted and without holding the liners down with some spacers and nuts on the head studs, not often it does that but it can happen, usually happens to the Standard engine though. The liners should not stand proud of the block face by more than .010" Gaskets should be fitted flat side to head, usually they are marked "top"

As you haven't had the liners out, it's not them holding the head up. A mystery to me. If the gasket is the right one & the right way 'round - would have to go to shed to check if they can be turned around & it's dark & cold at present - I'll check tomorrow - and provided head is torqued down correctly, I can't come up with a reason at present.
Head gasket doesn't require any more parts & head & block should be clean before fitting. Why did you fit a new gasket?

Which model is this? Have you done any other work? Could be a liner holding head up.
