Having a read through old posts,,had a thought on this m problem,,Could this be caused by slight bowing of the deck or head over time, as these blocks are so narrow between cylinder bores , with no bolts between bores,,and allowing this to happen, perhaps not got the full clamping force to gasket. , “”” just a thought”
