My '94 ultra
I have a 1994 Electra glide ultra classic 2 years in a row I've had to have the top end gaskets redone I've recently opened it up and found that I have wiseco Pistons adjustable pushrods and that's pretty much all I've gotten to so far so there's clearly isn't a stack engine question I have is if the fella who did my top end last time both of them could hear possibly just use standard gaskets and that's the problem I'm having or does it really matter any help would be greatly appreciated I'm going to try to rebuild the entire engine myself

I also had a '94 Ultra Classic; I rebuilt the engine myself.
For that reason, I really wanted to help you, but I can't understand the question. Please re-read what you wrote, add some punctuation, and give it another go.

Which gaskets leaked?
Rocker Box ?
Head gasket ?
Base gasket?
All of them ?

Why do you think the engine needs to be rebuilt?
How many miles on the engine?
Is it burning oil?
Have you done a compression check?

Oops
Head gasket blew twice. Unsure of mileage odometer isn't working but I do know it's been to Arizona from Indiana at least 12 times last # is 194k but who knows. Bottom leaking also this time. I was reading and I was just thinking maybe wrong gaskets used he did all top end

I suspect a cylinder stud has pulled loose.
Do you mean the base gasket?

More info with some pictures may be helpful for those trying to offer guidance.
Cylinder stud as @Dan89FLSTC suggested. Also were the cylinder and head surfaces checked for flat surfaces? Head bolts torqued properly with previous repairs?
