Emo I ain't never seen one these heads leak have only heard about them. I sure would hate to pull a good head just for that reason. What about some kind of "sealing washer" in the place of the normal spark plug washer, bet I could make one !

The leak is between the cast aluminum and steel head cap and there's no place to put a washer to stop the oil. ..........lm

The leak is just around the spark plug though right? Where the cast iron & the aluminum meet
I'm asking cause I've never seen one leak

That's correct.
The 2 parts separate at that area. ...................lm

That's what I thought. I was just thinking of those thin flat washers with a neoprene gasket bonded to them like used on a metal building screw. Their are some about 3/4" od or so.
