Help, PLEASE
Two years ago I had my head milled and reinstalled. Last year I pulled it back apart and found that the gasket was leaking in-between the cylinders. I pulled the block and took both the head and block to a GOOD machine shop. Both where touched up to be flat.
I put it back together only to have water dripping on right side at the plug area. This did not bother me, but last fall I had water get into one of the cylinders (white smoke on start up). I just pulled the head off and found the cylinders are still leaking in between the two. I have been using J.D. head gaskets with a spray on copper coat from Napa. I also installed grade 8 bolts and tourqed (spelling) them down to 180 ponds. I warmed it up to operating temp and retourqed when hot. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG The compression is 147 on both sides. A standard head gasket should hold this, but it is not. THANKS BUDD
