Default Coolant leak
Experiencing slight coolant leak between head and block #1 cylinder right side for the second time. Superformance GT40, Roush 427SR, Dart iron block, AFR heads. First leak at 18K miles. Removed heads, had resurfaced, new Felpro 4.125" bore gaskets (slightly oval ones). Block surface fine. OK for 2500 miles, now slight leak at same location. Any suggestions? Retorque? Thought Dart iron blocks didn't require head bolt sealer? If retorque fails any suggestions on head gasket installation. Noticed on 1st disassembly that those Felpro gaskets brinell aluminum of head.
