After refurb on head and refitting it was still leaking through port making us think it is block now.

Hi Gary,

Seeing the gasket, and how you say the head has been faced, then if the head is still true, then i would suspect the block top face is a possible cause, looks like it may need facing, not unknown for this to happen.
