So I put the head on, although the chain gave me hell cause it got in the way at first, but got it lined up with the block dowels...good. Keep in mind i was by myself and it was 98 degrees.
So when i put the head bolt in that particular hole with the oil, as i screw it in by hand the oil flooded up and got in between the block and head gasket. I even saw it drip down. So at that point Thougth about getting the head off and cleaning it dry but like i mentioned it was so hot that day that i took the easy way out and said to myself that it will burn off as the car heats up.......WRONG.
Oh, I gotcha. Been there, done that, thinking...........fuck it, it will be ok, I'll just let it ride....
Sometimes I would luck out and nothing would happen, but most of the time I regret it. The easy way out is always easy at the time, but double the work later
