Hey all. So I rebuilt my '73 1F a couple years ago. I just blew my second head gasket since. (1st was due to water pump belt, resulting in overheating) To be honest I'm not 100% sure what happened this time. Water pump spins but it blew all my coolant out and now my oil is milky. I'm hoping just the thermostat failed.
Some people are telling me I need to replace my head bolts as I've reused them a couple times. Is this true? I know it's a low compression engine and my manual didn't call for it. But I don't want to put it all back together if the bolts stretched over time and have this happen again.
Thank you for insight.
