Hi everybody
I am here again asking for wisdom and directions. After starter motor failure, I decided to remove it and fix it. In the way to installing back the manifolds I discovered water. testing the starter I did noticed cylinder #2 was spitting water. Bad news! After removing the head, I found water in chamber 2. I remember I got some trouble with overheating while ago. So, I had the head skimmed and installed a new gasket. When I tested for leak I found water coming around the recently installed gasket.
I have changed three times mentioned gasket and I am still getting water from the same area. See a picture of it.
I am following the rule for tightening the head as per gasket manufacturer, stepping on 15, 29, 47 <90º, 47 lb-ft.
Would you please share some advice? Engine is 1289 cc, 810 model
Regards
