    Default 230 Leaking oil at head/block

    I figured I would post a new thread as some may not be following my restoration thread. I started and ran/test drove the truck today. I have oil leaking from the head/block seam on both sides of the engine, both leaks seem to be about midway more toward the front. Curious if anyone has experienced this kind of oil leak ? I my try a head re torque, the head gasket as far as I know is the original and the engine has sat for a long time.

    If I do end up replacing the head gasket I have two styles of gaskets, one is metal and the other is fiber with metal around the cylinder holes. Curious which might be the best one to use

    Thanks
    UPDATE
    I tried re torquing but no movement on the bolts so I figure it would be best to go ahead and change out the head gasket. I also think I am going to use the fiber head gasket as it's a bit thicker and I think it will seal better.
