New set of heads from a 68, has steel thread inserts. I screwed the plugs in an filled the well with gas, half hour later no gas leaked out past threads. Installed heads an oil leaks out of plug holes after an hour of use, checked plugs both tight.
I am assuming the aluminum heads are expanding an allowing leakage between head and plug insert. The sealing ring on the spark plug is only large enough to contact the insert, with no overlap to the aluminum. What if anything can I use to seal an insert when installing it?
Chris you said the keenserts work best, do you seal them? This troublehead is driving me nuts:)
