My father in law has a 440 6-pack in a '70 RR in four speed.  When we first started it for the season I smelled coolant burining on pass. side cylinder bank headers.  Looks like white coolant stains on pass. head where it meets the deck!  Is this a commom issue on 440 six packs, with there high compression ratios.  12:1 I think stock???

Anyone think it might be a head stud instead of a head gasket leak??  Could have the head studs in teh water jacket roted out and started leaking?
