Not what I wanted to see but, Filled the truck up with coolant a few day ago and I found a few drops coming from in between the cylinder head and block. I checked both cylinders thru the plug hole and didn't see any coolant in the motor. I feel like I am getting an excessive amount of bubbles when I push on the radiator hoses to burp the system. Do you think I need to pull that head and try again or could it seal up after a heat cycle?

Is it a Cometic gasket?

Also, are they R/T heads?

Used Mopar performace head gaskets. Heads are Eddys.

What is the part number for the Fel-pros?

My Cometics leaked like that Dave.
With the R/T heads on the 402 I had to seal the header bolts...

I just borrowed a pressure tester. I am having trouble finding where the coolant is coming from.

There 'should' be no exhaust bolt holes open to the coolant passages on RT heads.

Hmmm, didn't really look closely cause I thought we were talking about R/T heads leaking on exhaust flange bolts!!!
