Subject:Antifreeze in combustion chamber...

All,
  I just finished doing a head gasket job in a 1985 GL.  The job went fine
except now after a short engine start and shutdown (a few minutes or so) we
get antifreeze from the exhaust port.  The green o-ring and the flat metal
seal were placed correctly before we put the heads back on.  Will the seals
"work themselves in" is the question I have.  We don't really want to take
the head off again.  Thanks for any advice or words of support.
