What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Howard Wright]

Hi Steve

Thanks for the observations.

I’m a bit paranoid about checking head torque. In fact I bought a smaller torque wrench to ensure it was reading in the more accurate mid range. I have checked about once a week over the last six months. So I’m pretty sure that the studs were tight. In the photo the gasket is loose on the head and resting half way up the studs so it might appear a bad fit.

I think my use of the rad flush must have something to do with the leak. Up until then things were fine.

Cheers

Howard
