I'm getting a small leak right at one of the middle lower bolts... Hmmmm
I'm using a LR metal gasket. I wonder if that has something to do with it..

The metal gasket was made for LR solid lifter kit to insure exact spacing. If you don't have the solid lifter kit, use the stock gasket.

On the web site it said it was ok for stock. I seen so many cam gasket blow outs, I thought it was worth a try...

I cleaned both sides well. This rebuilt is a nightmare
I drive it for a few days and see how it goes.

I use assembly tube to keep the bolts stuck to the long cheesehead socket when installing the tower. Good luck.

minor inconvenience. A nightmare would be having to start over again. You have to admit its self inflicted.
