Thank you all for your input. As I'm piecing this all together it has dawned on me that I have been seeing this odd looking 'foam' of sorts in the radiator. I'm willing to bet it all on the head gasket. And now the more I think of it I only torqued the head down once after I got it back from the machine shop. I'm also thinking that maybe I should add another washer on the bottom of those acorn nuts - maybe they're bottoming out on the stud making the torque reading not really mean what it should.

Well now the next question - should I go with Olson's gaskets for a head gasket or do you all recommend another vendor? Is there another vendor for that matter?

Thanks again for the help. I'll take a head gasket over a stuck valve - I think...
