Checked that and its on right. Any other suggestions? Car was not leaking oil like that before putting it back together.

Re: Head Gasket Problems
I haven't heard it but when the car was started it was making a very loud high whistling sound coming from the intake manifold. I don't want to start it up again to hear it.
