Ok guys, put thread sealer on all the head bolts, retorqued then and then tore it down to the cam gear and replaced the oil galley plug in question. Reassemble the front end w/ thread sealer on all bolts that went into the block and it appears to have fixed the problem. I'll find out when I put a couple miles on it after the exhaust is installed.

P.S. I purcharsed a full freeze plug kit so that I could determine how many 1/2" plugs there were. Only 3 came in the kit and all are in the front of the block.

Thanks,
Trevor

Do you have screw in rocker studs? Ive seen these leak before too as some of them intersect with the water jackets. They need to be sealed too.
