    getting oil in the cooling system

    alright..this one has me stumped. ump mod 23* 383,canfield 220 heads. tore this engine down to switch camshafts,previous cam was causing valve to piston interference. reassembled the engine tonite,sounds great-good oil pressure-oil temp is good-water temp is good,but now its getting oil in the radiator???? any ideas?

          Lots of head bolts and all studs will leak without some good sealer on the ends. I make my motor builder teflon tape then seal them because the sealer (3b) everyone claims to use is almost always letting one or two leak.

          Even at that when I ran head studs I had to put a sealer in the radiator on break in of those motor to seal the studs.

          When I break in a new motor I pull the valve covers fast to check for water leaking into the oil. Its easy to spot.
