Head gasket is starting to weep

Well I’m out at the 8T and retorquing won't work. The valve lash is all over the place.
The four valves I’ve tested are from 0.135 to 0.24 lash is supposed to be 0.10 hot for intake and exhaust.
Thanks everyone. I’ll keep ya posted if I don’t fall off the dang thing

Yea, all the 311's, 15'S and 18"s are noted for being seepers, best thing is when installing a new head gasket is use Permatex 300 on them.

Adjusting the valve lash went well. I thought the engine sounded good before now is sounds like a diesel 🤦Ha Ha.
I'll run it some tomorrow and check valve lash again.
Why dose everyone crank the valve covers down to 50 ft.pounds?

Thanks Rome K/G
and everyone else for looking👍😁👍

You're welcome, yea I have had to bend them back out on some covers. Same goes for injection pump lifter setting, had a 315 engine spittin n sputterin, after resetting lifters she ran smooth as velvet.

FD,
How did your valve lash get so far off?? A few years back I had some water from the exhaust stack get into a cylinder so checked the valve lifter clearance after about 600 hours they were all within .002 on the old 112 I have. Figured I could have been that far off when I reset them 5 years ago prior.

I'm not sure how the valve lash got that far off that was the first time I had ever had the valve covers off. I was going to pop the valve covers and check them again today but after operating for thirty minutes Arthur Itus wouldn't let me.
