Hi,
My engine is a 1961, 261.
I overheated/cracked the head and replace it (the head). I found another 848 head (date code 1960) and had it built.
I put it all back together but had an issue with water coming out where it should not.
Long story short, the 5th bolt (counting front to back) that holds the rocker shaft/pedestal GOES INTO THE WATER JACKET. None of the other 5 shaft/pedestal bolts do.
My question is, are all heads like this? I don't recall ever putting sealer on the shaft bolts.

Thanks in advance.
Joe
