Took barrels and head off for ceramic coating now they are back and fitted an oil leak has now appeared which seems to be coming
from the upper push rod cover that fits inside the bottom of the cylinder head (not 100% sure as its flushing oil) in 'Parts Diagram'
attachment is item 16 (marked in yellow) the rubber seals as indicated in the parts manual - item part # 16 H-D 11157
that fit over the end of the push rod upper cover ?
Pic 1 & pic 2 have been posted for reference purposes and pic 3 is the cylinder head flipped upside down with the alleged
rubber seals insitu. The set of push rod covers are after market but were not cheap and the rubber seals are from James,
could it be that the ceramic coating all be it is a very thin fine coating is preventing this rubber seal from doing its job and
the engine oil is passing or am I missing something here during re-assembly?
Would appreciate your comments please guys

Ps. Took head off to see if I had missed something but reluctant to reassembly the head to identify the exact source of the leak as this is no 5 minute job
hence my post or maybe you may think I should!?
