oil leak on exhaust (archive)

Posted by rob h on May 28, 2000 at 22:55:59:

after putting in new exhaust studs, bolts and gasket onto my head and tightening down the bolts, it's looking like cyls. #2 & 3 are leaking through those top bolts and it's getting down onto the exhaust and smoking.

i didn't want to tighten the studs too far into the head as they seemed to just keep going. so i put some locktite on them cranked them in w/ two nuts on them and let them sit in there for about 3-4 hours before i tightened the exhaust maniforld. (the studs i got are a continous thread, NOT the kind with an unthreaded portion near the center). any ideas/suggestions?
thanks,
rob
