I was unsure of where it was coming from fouling my plugs on the rear of the engine and Scott explained to pressurize the oil and check the intake port for a leak and sure enough there was some small holes from the oil passage to the rocker shafts.

It appears they used Splashzone epoxy which is one of the best out there BUT if you clean it thoroughly and put 2 coat of clear lacquer spray paint on the epoxy it holds up to any alcohol that is in any gas that you may use. I keep a can or two handy and spray it into a small container and apply with a brush. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

He used a sunen cylinder head machine to ream the passage to size[1/4"],cut some 1/4" brake line to length and tapped it into the head up to the turn into the rocker shaft perch and then sealed it with epoxy.it is not a DIY task and it took a couple time to perfect.

I see, I thought maybe the head got pooched from whom ever did the porting.
