New Head Gasket Trash?
Ive dug and dug and can not seem to pin point something as to why my brand new head gasket would be leaking.
I had a stuck valve and my push rods were bent and I was leaking coolant out the rear of the head gasket. I got roller rockers the fancy dancey orange, Harland Sharps, push rods, head gasket set, and I had a buddy with a shop clean up the valves for me. Once everything was back together I had no spark and had to turn it over a few times to figure that out. (bum rotor bug) Now she started running and then warmed up for a sec and got real rough. Pulled plugs and #6 was bent and pushed down with coolant all in the cylinder. I also have cheap gas station milkshake for oil now.
I read it could be a spacing problem, but the head was not resurfaced and is flat as far as a feeler gauge and level. I forgot to get head bolts so I used the old ones. I've pulled the head again and got new head bolts. Any idea other than old head bolts which I've seen people use before without a problem?
