I appreciate all the help so far doing my full engine rebuild. Got it running yesterday, and it runs great. However, head gasket is leaking. Video of it Here. I think the oil in the video is from a little spill from the oil pipe above, may not have seen the leak without it. I cleaned it up and it didn't come back. I used a gasket that came with an eBay kit. Also, I torqued the bolts per the manual but forgot the 4 small bolts on the front and back. The manual says to tighten them after the head bolts, with no torque spec. I wouldn't think it would cause a leak, but maybe? I'm thinking I should replace with an OEM (or better quality, any recommendations?) head gasket and don't forget the small bolts this time. Or should I try a retorque? The head and block surfaces were very clean, and it seems to be leaking all around so I don't think it's a warped head or anything. Appreciate any advice!
