I always tighten my heads and all screws in a optimum pattern so it seats evenly all the way around. I like to relate it to tuning a drum if you will (have played for 15 years).

so is this normal? or do i need to look at other potential issues? Like i said the engine is a animal so the performance is great. But if fuel/oil can leak out, air and dirt can come in.
if the head was leaking the engine would run very poorly......it is possible tho that you may be slightly lifting the head at the extreme end of the RPM's tho LOL ......The mod B5 on the 2058 hits some pretty serious RPM !
