what piston rings are you running?

How is the surface where the oil filter seal sits?

its sitting on a golden eagle kit

we are using je piston/rings

oil also seeps out by the head gasket near the dizzy,

note. this happened just recently, the motor was running fine before, but it had a bit of piston slap, we removed the head and the pistons and installed new rings with a tighter gap, we are now running 14/16 on the gap

Possible the plate could be warped? Bad plate maybe?

how much oil pressure are you getting? Did the oil feed line to the head get kinked?

Your relief valve in the oil pump is stuck.
