What size steel line were you using?
It needs about 3/8" I.D.
And it has to have the duckbill on the end.
No catch can needed.

As for the head leak, welcome to the club!
Common occurrence.
Don't try to just torque it down harder. That has bad consequences.

Do a search for "spigot" and read about how to properly cure the head leaks.

i guess i screwed up.  the line is much smaller than the 3/8 it looked about the same size as the inside diameter of the hole out of the engine.   no duck bill,  i guess i should put it back to the original until i get the right size line and a duck bill

well i learned all about spigots,  now it never seemed to leak much before, or maybe it was that i hadn't ridden as many miles at one time about 400 in two days.  the thing is that my son put on the new piston and head and I'm sure he had no idea of the spigot situation.  if i took of the head i am assuming i need a new gasket would that be correct.   now what happens when there is no duck bill and the pressure is not right inside the lower end

There should be a duckbill inside the catch can you can reuse.

If you don't want to go down the road of monkeying with the spigot just get a composite gasket from CMW..  My 07 had a pretty consistent leak at the head and that gasket fixed it right up.

the composit gasket i can handle better than messing with the spigot, that seems beyond my comfort zone.   as for the duck bill i just ended up putting everything back to stock and it runs so good that i might just keep it that way
