So I started the 235 for the first time since I rebuilt it a few years back. Sigh of relief.....it seems to run great, though my carb rebuild might not have been as successful...might order a Holley/Weber setup from Langdon's.
Anyhoo...Oil is seeping from a couple of the headbolts on the driver's side. I ran it until it warmed up, then retorqued all of them, and it still seems to seep out (that's not to mention the oil oozing from the side cover! :rolleyes: ).
Is this something to be concerned about? I reused the head bolts, and I'm wondering if I should have replaced them. Where do you get new headbolts, anyway?

Show me a stovebolt six that doesn't leak oil somewhere and I'll show you a stovebolt six that's out of oil. grin I don't know about the head bolts but the side cover leakage is REAL common.
