I know its not the greatest pic but its the only one I got. Inside the red circle is the plate/cover thing Im talkin about. Check for looseness or missing bolts. Im thinkin that is the cause of your problem.

Now I'm seeing on a Marlin Crawler forum that the head bolt torque at 62lb. I read in the Chilton manual that it is something different!

I torque to 60. Anywhere in there is really pretty good. 58 is what the Haynes says to go to but the FSM says 62. I jus met in the middle. You will most likely have to do the head gasket again if it wasnt torqued properly.

I'm tourqed At 62

Were you able to check that block off plate on the back of the head?
