Did you use felpro seals? Those things are rubbish, I always get problems with them.

How are the spark plugs? Could be the valve cover seals. I am guessing the car is smoking and running really rough........

So is leaking inside the combustion chamber?

I got a experience before with a wrongly ported head that the valve spring pressure broke into the intake port with a tiny crack, u can check on that as well as in the exhaust side, some think anyone can port a head but sometimes almost 80% of those are dead wrong LOL :lol:
