Do a good compression test. Pay special attention to the #8 cylinder, (passenger side rear) I have had 2 5.9l gas engines suffer a head crack in that same cylinder and the same place, in between the valves.

Also make sure the plug wires are routed correctly per the TSB in the DIY/FAQ section of the forum.

Did you remove the TB to check for oil pooling?
