Hi Mike

With regard to water/oil coming up through the stud holes, I solved this by putting sealer (see below for type) under the washer below the head nut. It’s also a good idea to put a bit around the helicoiled base of the studs.

I use a light smear of Loctite SI 5990 copper silicone on both sides of the head gasket, it’s been recommended here before.

Good luck

Cheers

Howard
