Not with the little milage you did after the rebuild.
I would guess wrong gasket.

Talked to Mark today from Mark's offroad 
He said my carb is getting close to done
Carb is gonna be sexy as hell
It was pretty trashed when he got it, i guess he found a huge piece of dirty cotton jammed in the accelerator pump passage as well!!!
Crazy dirty
But I let him post up himself as he can relate it better than I.
Thanks Mark!
you are the man.
Cannot wait to see it

hehe thanks guys
I will post up pics later, gonna go to the beach or mountains with the wife and dog hopefully today
They did nothing special but do everything correctly i imagine
Correct head gasket and new water pump and all new gaskets.
( They cold hot valve adjustment of course as well, and flushed the hell out of the motor to get all the coolant out )
They changed the timing so the bearing is set more center in the window, i might advance it a little later, but it is fine for now. Everything else is as i had it.
I just think that old gasket was bad news and not what the motor needed.
But only time will tell.
Going back in monday after a good flogging on the motor and they will show me what to re-torque etc to make sure all is fine ongoing.
No i need to get my jump seats from Shane and do all the final touches to get this think looking perfect

That is great news! Congrats (again)!
I am afraid I would have to agree. So pictures...the proof. Perhaps straddling a log in 12" of a flowing stream.
Let's see some wheelin'!!
Destin, I think it would be natural for you to stay with in walking distance of your home for the first few trips but he life's short. and Murphey has got to end sometimes.
Have fun on your trip.
