Default Bad gas or?

She started running worse than normal and I also noticed the vents for the heads where dripping oil. I checked the oil level and it was near the lower half of the safe area on the dip stick.
I pulled the spark plugs and used my bore scope to take a look at the cylinders.
So now that I'm back from my local harley shop.
I get the heads off and find this.....
I'm going to do some cleaning and replace the seals.
Dose any one know the torque numbers for the head bolts?

Mine started puking oil the other day, too. I think it was from sitting in traffic too long, but that's the first time it's happened. It was literally running out of the air cleaner, leaving a nice puddle. Ran OK, though.

Ok, shes all clean and back together. I went to try to start it and it popped from the front cylinder a little but did not start. Could I have plugged the fuel injectors up backwards?

Pulled the rear cylinder back apart and checked everything that I did the first time. Even removed the valves and lapped them to look like new.
Reassembled it and also replaced the intake seals. Cranked and it sounded better, but still did not start. Now I'm sure that the rear injector is not spraying.

Any one ever messed with them before?

There are no codes. All it had that was different than stock was the stage 1 map id code.

Switched injectors around and now the front is out. I've been looking around and have not found a pair that look legit. My local parts guy is asking $180... a piece...
I'm also going to get a new fuel filter.
