I have what I thought to be a head gasket leak. I Havnt taken it off and properly resealed head gasket but I did retorque and change rocker gaskets and pushrod seals. I lost a rocker cap riding hard and the oil leak stopped cold. Is this a pressure isssue causing it to push oil out somwhere bacause of pressure buildup. 71 t120 ,morgo 75o top , high comp pistons, Stock cams, stock valves . I never checked the head for warpage because it had been recut and has new valves. Only venting I know of is primary and the shared oil thru the crankcase to primary. I.am still gonna pull the head again but I'm wondering if I can vent a rocker cap. The leak is minor , comp . Is great and it runs like a raped ape...Ken. with rocker cap off ran like a beast.
Ps, I have retorque thru heat cycles and used more torque up to 38lbs or so and did it from the get go. About 250 miles on the breakin and I think rings are good.
