heavy40chevy Shop Shark H Joined: May 2013 Posts: 173 michigan	I have a 1940 Chevy 3/4 ton special with an original 216 engine (rebuilt). I have a leak around the manifold around the 2nd and 3rd exhaust port.(I can see black exhaust carbon around this area) the bolts are torqued down well beyond any reasonable manner, gaskets are new, tried to double up on gaskets, no avail. Suggestions?
