First do a compression test...........that will give you a clearer picture
of what might be wrong..........The rear o ring could have shifted and is
not in the hollow or you may have accidently hit the gasket putting the head
on...........Alot of weird things can happen but like i
say...........Compression test it first.........see if any fluid vapour is
on the bottom of the tester or drops of antifreeze in the
oil............Realistically if it is blowing fluid it should not idle good
and only run reasonably after warming up, albeit with less
power...........Here's hoping it is residual fluid but then again pulling
the head is not hard although a pain in the butt after just doing it
Good luck
