I really don't want to pull the head again. I just put a new gasket in last year, torqued it correctly, etc. It was the solid, high performance head, and I later learned it can be a problem. The "sandwich" would likely have been better.
The leak is relatively small, but visible near the front of the engine on both sides. Just some slow trickle below the thermostat housing. I can get the scent of coolant in the driver's seat.
I'm thinking of re-torquing and using some "BarsLeak." Some shops actually recommend it, saying TRs will leak even with the best gaskets. Others may disagree.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
