[Vwdiesel] leaking head gasket

[gary]

Forrest,
Sorry, I have to ask...
Did you do the third, hot, 90* turn?

(Sigh) Besides that, I don't think you have much choice but to pull the
head and try again. Like the others have said, make absolutely sure all
of the bolt holes are clean(chased) and clear of all debris. I always
use a blast of air to blow out these holes, followed by solvent, then
another blast of air.
