Spitfire Spitfire head studs?

[Darwin]

Anyone know which of the head studs on the Spitifre 1300 go into the water jacket? I am getting some seepage around the back stud that is right under the end of the rocker arm shaft. I am hoping this is just a case of having to put some sealer on the threads and not a case for pulling the head.

Thanks

Should help a bit.

Thanks Pete. The diagram doesn't really show which bolts go into the water galley, however. Also the 1300 had a different # of studs in different places. Appreciate your efforts.

I may be a doofus, but I didn't think any of them went into the water jacket.

IIRC there are either 2 or 3 that need to be sealed but I can't find my notes on which ones or the original source of the info.

Why not pull it and seal all of them?

Gonna have to do that. Was hoping to avoid that very thing.
