    I have had head gasket leaks in that area on 3 or 4 lightwins. I now check the block for being true. I have heard others speak of that too. I am reassembling a JW17 at the moment that had low compression. This block and head was good and true. When it is finished ( and running) I am going to post al the things I found and tried on it. Even if they are not true, and new head gasket will work for a good while. Good Luck with it, they are great little outboards.

    PS Nice cabin!
