Try deepening and widening  the troughs and chamfer the return holes 
(push rod holes) in the top of the head under the rocker shaft. If it 
was rebuilt then there should be new valves seals but if the oil 
isn't draining off the top of the head fast enough it will build up 
and run down the valve stems, seals or not.
