Thanks for all the great advice. I am in the process of reinstalling my manifolds to run another test on the engine. Since some of you have worked on these engines, please tell me in which direction the exhaust gasket should go on. It is a small donut shaped metal gasket with a ridge of thin metal on one side. I first installed it with the thin ridge going INTO the engine, after running it only a very short time, the thin ridge is burning up, so now I am thinking it ought to be installed with the thin ridge goin INTO the manifold. Either way, this is a poor excuse for a gasket. Might have to make my own that seal better. I will keep the board posted on my progress. In answer to some of the posts, I do have the manual for this machine, and can now recite them from memory....If my next few tests don't work, then I will pull the head off and have all parts machined to ensure flatness, reseat valves ( including intake) and go at it again....but that is now my last resort. This next test will involve new plug wires, rotor, cap, points etc....timing, and gaskets...then if still hot, do the spray test for leaks... Thanks again Bruce
