Breathing new life into the 318 in the Scamp!

It was leaking at the water passage, at the gasket itself. It should have more than sealed. I did use black silicone sealant on the intake bolts, as well as the timing cover and water pump. I used teflon on the exhaust bolt that replaced the rear stud on the left side.

Everywhere else, except for the left head gasket sealed at 12psi when I hit it with a leakdown check on the radiator fill neck. It was dribbling from a few places toward the middle of the head under pressure and one spot with zero pressure.

These are mystery heads. I thought I checked them for squareness, but I may have only done one of the heads, twice by mistake. My machinist will be able to tell me what's going on with them, tomorrow.

This should be a quick fix, though. All of the other fitting and fabrication work is done. It should just go back together how it came apart.
