    I reread Bob's reply regarding using thread sealer, and am going to use Loctite 1158514 head bolt and water jacket thread sealer instead. Keeping my fingers crossed.

    The thread sealer did the trick. No more leak. I created the problem by using the Permatex #2. Now to adjust the valves, and get her on the street. Thanks to all.
