Hello. I have a 1947 GM that i have completely torn down the engine and rebuilt. Today it started weeping water into the left cylinder when I let
it sit for a couple of hours. It will start on one cylinder and I leave the petcock open on the trouble cylinder and will run on one cylinder till the
water is out then pop it runs on both with no water coming out just exhaust and no white smoke coming out of the exhaust after it starts running
on both cylinders. I have retorqued the head twice and used blue devil block sealer after I rebuilt it to make sure I didn?t miss anything. There
isn?t any oil in the coolant nor is there any bubbles in the radiator while running or starting. I really don?t want to have tear down the engine
again I?m hoping it may just be another retorque. It was flooding out with gas when I let it sit but I did disconnect the plug wires to get all the
gas out of the cylinders before i started it.
