After just doing a head gasket, there is a slight weep of oil from the front right of the head gasket, where the oil galley is, and its running down to where dizzy, what a bummer.....
Now I will have to do it again...or maybe I will put some radweld in my oil

Does anyone recommend using HYlomal or something around these galleries on the gasket...

Dave Henshall

thats why teh head and block have to be 100% flat - otherwise siad leaks occur

i know as im guilty also

As far as i'm aware you should never use jointing compound/gasket sealer on a head gasket..

Did you have the head checked whilst it was off?

auralisRS

Yep, head was skimmed, someone said that the gasket sometimes have a raised reinforced area around the galleries....
