Default **** coolant leaking at head... ipp built motor*****

Wondering if anyone has experienced heads seeping coolant. Long story short, I have a built ipp long block. TT with 19lbs boost. ever since day one when the car heats up and cools down it leaks very little on the inside corner where the head gasket is. I was told that when aluminum head are decked the corners are not so perfect and this could happen. Anyone ever deal with this?

He is know for excellent customer service round here.

Maybe you need the head studs retorqued. Stock Nissan head bolts are a torqued-to-yield variety that will hold the required setting forever. If something like the stronger ARP studs are used they may very well need a retorquing, if anything settles in or stretches, one or more studs may lose its clamping force.
