Glad you found the problem. Now you can sleep better at night and stop pullin' your hair out. At least the hair you have left. :shock: :lol:

Yes it is a casting flaw, when new bearings, gaskets were installed, everything sealed tight where oil pressure was up for a few minutes i guess it finally blew out and started leaking, could have been seeping all along :!: :!: Have new block building now :!:
