Its not difficult im glad to say. All you need to do is take of the rocker cover. You should then have 4 tubes that the spark plugs go down, there are round seals that stop oil leaking through the cover, there are also seals at te bottom of the tubes and if you pull them they should pull out.

Al you need to do is replace the seals or temporarily seal with some gasket seal. :)

I took these shot today to help others find these pesky little holes.
Also in one picture you can see where I've put a bit of wire up through the hole and out via the spark plug recess.
I do hope these help

I took this head off this afternoon and was happy to find some flat top stainless steel valves in there :smt003

i had everything off today, and i thought the oil leak was coming from the ht leads, so i sealed them up.

rode it, and ive still got the fucking leak!

im pretty damn sure its gotta be the rocker cover leaking, it looks like it anyways.
