Ran two pulls yesterday, and at the end of my second pull the motor sprung a leak. Coolant was coming out the front of my head at the gasket. No coolant in the oil, or oil in the coolant, the leak stopped after the pull, do you think i can just do another re torque and it will be fine? Or do i need to take the head off another time:soap:
 
Was is coming out of the passengers side front corner?

Retorq, I doubt it , the head and or block may not be flat in that area.

The gasket is likely damaged, pull the head and install a new gasket at the least.
 
Yeah thats what i figured, I didnt really wanna afro rig it. But dont feel like pulling hat dam head again.

What kind of gaskets are out there other than stock for a 24v?
 
Try to retorque it one more time, retorques are criticle with o-rings, If that dosent work I would def go with a .020 over marine modified 12v gasket. If you want one just give me a call.
