Chris,
If your sure the upper end oil lines are cool along with the plug over
the allen head bolt then I can't see any other possiblity, check to make
sure your oil drain hole in the head gasket is aligned correcty when you
taker the heads off.

I assume that the oil leak is below or right at the gasket surface?

 Howdy all-
I pulled the valve cover to check the top head bolt. There was no sign
that
any oil had leaked under the washer on the cover bolt. Took the head
bolt
off and there was no sign of oil under it either. Re tourqued the head
and
adjusted the valves again. Leak is still there.
Any other possibilities before I pull the head and install a new head
gasket
(which is the only other thing I can think of that wold allow a leak
there).
Thanks!
