so iv tried doing some research into this problem i have cant find anything, i am getting leaky oil that seems to flow from the head gasket, everyone says its not posible as its not pressurized, so far iv change dipstick o ring, oil filter adapter o rings, all the vacuum lines on the vc, also replaced the vc gasket with a felpro perm, everything is torqued dry up top i pressure washed the motor wih degreser, did a compression check all show same good psi, and my rad fluid is green as ever, now what

what does that side by the timing cover look like? I've seen them leak up there and the oil will blow from the fan and follow that crack all the way back

looks dry . as far as i can see "just looked" that entire side where the hG is is wet but it flows down in the back,

p.s also changed oil pressure unit

if its for sure not coming from like the first bolt or two on the valve cover its very possible that it could be just be the head gasket right there. but I had the valve cover problem before and it looked like that, make sure the bolt are tight on the valve cover sometimes they loosen up as you tighten others, I usually go over them a couple times.....at work you might have to replace a head gasket but that's an afternoon job, its not bad

i thought it was the valve cover gasket i torqued it down 4 times with a snap on torque wrench, criss cross pattern then all around, i pressure washed and degreesed it i can tell its dry where the vc gasket is all around

iv replaced a motor but never a hg lol should i have the head looked at before i reinstall or cause its runing good and such just do the hg

if you have the time and money then yes get the head looked at and replace the valve stem seals at least. if both are a factor then replace as much as money allows like stem seals, push rods, lifters, cam, timing set, rocker arm sets....always replace head bolts
