Does the new engine have ARP head studs? If so, check this out http://calaisturbo.com.au/showthread...cker+cover+arp (http://calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=46840&highlight=rocker+cover+arp) Failing that, you may have to try a new rocker cover gasket

new gasket bro. sometimes u do up the botls n it'll leak regardless. clean both surfaces, new gasket, and you wont even need bolts done up super tight and it shouldnt leak.
