Okay, I just got done installing my new 331 with AFR 185 heads. I fired it up yesterday and it was kind of running like crap...a few clacking sounds here and there from what sounded like rocker noise. Anyways, yesterday, after it ran for a little bit, I noticed some antifreeze around the lower headbolt on the #5 cylinder, which is the front cylinder on the driver's side. Today, I fired it up and I don't hear any clacking and it runs smoother, but the antifreeze is still seeping out slowly from that bolt...what is the problem? That is the only bolt that has that problem...help!
