Small leak at cyinder to head
My 1973 engine has a small leak at the top of the cylinder and the head.
I can see the black stain there and think to hear it. Still runs perfect, also on idle. Question: Did anyone tried to put a little aluminum or copper powder into the intake of the effected cylinder - while engine is running. Those tiny particles might seal the tiny leak. thanks, harold

Have you checked to see if your head studs are too loose? I would check that before you dump copper in your intake runner.
