Default RE: TEMP.OF ENGINE??

That's all fine and good...I'm still having a hard time gettin my temp below 290 on either vehicle even when I'm so rich I see a solid trail of smoke, and when I am done running, I can see all kinds of liquid on the side of the body and have fuel run out of the exhaust pipe when I set it down or tip it up on it's side...I thought tearing the engine down and sealing it would help that, but It just became awefully sluggish after that...I'm changing it over to the two needle carb, and I know my replacement clutch spring wasn't right 'cause it never ran right after that. Also, I'm gonna tear it down again and see if maybe I didn't get some silicone blocking something, but now I await the carb and a new head gasket, so we'll see...
