Took the engine out and started to check what caused the leaking oil.
Took off the rocker arm from the 1-2 side so the valves are shut and turned the engine by hand. You could hear the air blow out of the cylinders at the point where the leakage is.
So I took off the head and that showed some black residue at the side where the leak is. Also the piston #1 is cleaner then #2.

Time to took off the cylinders to see the rings and piston, rings where not at the point were I put them because the gaps where a bit on the middle of the piston, and not at the top.
Then I measured the depth of the cuts in the heads and I that's were the problem is.
Measured the depth of the cuts at the both sides of the head at #1 and #2. 11.64

#1:  15.56mm and 15.61mm
#2:  14.85mm and 14.83mm

When torqued to spec the head is properly seated at #2 but #1 is not seated, these differences are way to much. Did not check this when putting all the parts togged so that's a lesson

Going to check the head at #3 and #4 and ask a machineshop to make them all 4 at the same depth.

Also saw that my crankseal is leaking so I can fix that to. Wink

The car looks great in that color.
Reading the last 10 pages of this thread that I have missed out on during my VW break, makes me want a '67 looker more than ever.

I just need to get to work on my square....
