I recently replaced the head gasket on my 66B - it was blown.  Since that
time I have noticed that I am loosing coolent. The loss is about 2cups per
500 miles, although it seems to get worse depending on how many times the
engine is stopped and started. Sometimes when starting after it is at
running temperature I can smell/see coolent coming from the exhaust. I am
planning on pulling the head again to take a look for the leak. Is this a
common problem?  If so where does the leak usually occur? Other suggestions?
I have not noted water in the oil and the head was retorqued a few hundred
miles after replacement. Compression is good.
