I had the same problem but fixed it, if it leaks like it's coming out of the exhaust, take it off, call mike at tbparts, he is aware of the problem, I've dealt with him on that, the manifold stud holes often times can be drilled and tapped so deep that it makes a tiny hole near the cam lobe lube area of the head, I know you don't want to dissassemble, but ask mike for whatever parts you'd like him to donate for the inconvenienced time, he's super cool, and he'll do it, Plus r heads can do the same as well. My 2nd v2 head is perfect,
