Having acquired a correct XL head for my '25 Chummy, I decided to fit it yesterday. Being a cheapskate I reused the head gasket but on start up it was obvious all was not well. I ran it for a short while, fascinated by the perfect " smoke " ( steam ) rings being puffed out of the radiator!! Removal of the head revealed 2 & 3 filled with water. Fitted a better looking gasket ( used! ) from my collection of around thirty and all was well. Change of oil revealed no water contamination.
I always clean the stud washer surfaces of paint on a newly painted head. Torque down to 15 initially and then to 20 max. Never more.
