Just got it all back together after replacing valves, rings and oil pump on my 1941 Ford 9N. Had the block tanked, and head milled. All new gaskets. Tried to start it (it wouldn't) and I noticed some coolant seeping out from between the block and head. I torqued the head nuts to 55 pounds like the book says, but I wonder if I should go a little harder. Is it best to use gasket compound on the head, or go with the clean metal gasket like I did?
