Bad news folks....Drove it to work today (25 miles each way) and noticed a small drip underneath. Drove it a few miles across town at lunch and noticed again. Checked inside the bay and yep, the leak is back
I guess I'll just keep an eye on the coolant level and keep topping off until it gets worse and I need to tear into it. I have so many other projects I'd rather do than deal with a new HG job right now...grrrrrr.

An update - I ended up diving in last month and doing an OEM gasket, new hoses all around, and an ENGNBLDR Street RV head with 268* cam. I also did the battery swap and am installing a supra AFM, plus I installed a GM alternator.
This is the second thread on it (the first got "stuck" at 7 pages and is linked to in the first post):

I'm really close to buttoning it up - just need to finalize wiring, install distributor, fluids, check vacuum hoses, and go.
Wanted to update this thread since I hadn't...and ask once more - I got new head bolts....and torgqued to 58 ft/lbs per FSM. Do I torque more to 63 ft/lbs at this point since i have new bolts?
