I have tried tightening the bolts as much as I can and it still sprays out . When my engine heats up, i can tell there is oil underneath as white smoke trails from underneath the head. How can I fix this? Is there some way to seal it?
I would say take head button off and check shims , probably a piece of metal stuck between shims
