>: I get some water dripping slowly at the head studs.
Studs of bolts??
If bolts, you may have to replace with longer as they
"may" be pulling out ot the previously used threads.
I had this problem and went to studs that were longer
than the original bolts by about 1/2". Used teflon sealer,
tightened down until I hit bottom then came back up
about 1/2 turn. No problems since.
