Welcome to the forum Jimmy,I think (as others have mentioned) the head retorque was your problem, the other that many people overlook is to anneal the copper gasket before fitting. I believe that in the era of these old tarts (before my time) this was done when the gasket was manufactured, these days we have to do it ourselves, it's only a matter of heating the gasket till its red hot with a blowtorch, then you can quench it in cold water or let it cool down on it's own. Enjoy your new toy Webby
