Default Clicking and can feel air from front cylinder

After replacing my rocker box gaskets my bike devolveped a ticking sound. Definitely coming from the front cylinder. If I put my hand over the hole at the top of the jug I can feel the cylinder pushing air out the top. Anyone have any ideas?

Yup, you either torqued something down wrong or have a seal twisted or something. You didn't forget to put the middle rectangular gasket in did you?
