I seem to have a tiny oil weep on the stator side of the base gasket, and another at the rear center where the cam chain adjuster is. We are talking droplets.

I did torque the outer head nuts before I left the show, but it showed up again on the ride back. I will need to back the nuts off and retorque them again before the next ride. 

The new oil cooler did not leak one drop there or back. 

I did not baby the engine both ways, it saw 8K RPM a few times, but backed off once I hit 100 MPH.
