Lifter blocks can crack, its usually a shovelhead trick but don't see why not on an evo...are you sure it isn't the pushrod tower seal?

my front lifter block is always wet with oil too, but mine's coming from the breather.


where's your breather routed to? I know i'm seeing quite a bit more blowby since i bumped the compression/cam (hopefully fixing that when I install the roller rockers next week)

If the H-D gasket lines up with the S&S block then there is a good chance it will work.
