Thanks Ryan. I know if you cross thread something, this can happen. At no time did I put blame on anyone. If I cross threaded or over tightened, I dont know. All I can say is with yrs. of experience, I try to do it right the first time. It is what it is. Thank you for responding to this post. You are a honest guy with integrity. I have always known that. LIke I said, none of the gasket had blowby. That's a relief. Seems like that situation is solved. I hve her buttoned up now and of course the batteries are low so she aint gonna start. Want to clear out the air in the system. Kids want to take her to Las Vegas on Thursday. I want to make sure all is good. 5 hr. drive. We'll talk soon. Going to Europe in a couple of weeks, so when I get back, we'll hook up
