Stop what you are doing right now and seal the engine. The last thing you want to do is let a simple little airleak totally screw up the break in of that engine... and it WILL, if that's the problem.

I thought I read something about high engine temps when I looked at this before... guess not

yeah, could be something as simple as the glow plug like xtremeraptor said.
