    Double check that it isn't the valve cover gasket leaking. Any leans there will find their way down to the head gasket and make it look like that is where the leak is.

    I checked around the valve cover gasket and it appears to be dry, but I'll keep an eye on it.

    I put new rubber donuts on all the bolts and got a new gasket too during the rebuild.

    Check the PRI flow... Should be quite free, then open the gas cap and check PRI flow again. If it picked up considerably, your cap vent isn't working properly
