Coolant leak????

This is a follow up on my post last month

I pressurized the radiator to 7-1/2 pounds and after 12 hours it was 6-1/2 pounds with no sign of coolant leak. Could it be that at 85 ft/lbs wasn't enough even though the shop manual stated so? I torqued it down to 95 this time around with the old gasket.

I think that is pretty good.

temp change, and hoses getting expanded a bit, and gasses getting absorbed will do that. fantastic.

Now I am debating whether or not to just use that gasket with 20 hrs on it. There were no defects I could find.

Based on 1 PSI drop, would not touch it, I do not think that is leaking.
