[QUOTE="TexasJ, post: 1555748, member: 30660"] Yeah I'm going to have to tear the thing apart AGAIN when I get home. I've been keeping avery close eye on it throughout my trip, and cleaning with break cleaner before long drives. It's continuing to seep. And it seems to also be leaking down the back side of the engine now. Not through the drain hole in the valley, but down the back behind the valley. I looked up that plasti gauge you mentioned and watched a video of its use on an engine bearing. How would I use that in this context? I understand I would have to cut a strip of it off and put it between the pedestal and the block, but how long of a strip (or does it matter)? And should I run it along one edge in front of the oil holes, or between the oil holes from front to back, or in some other orientation? Should I use multiple strips in different orientations? And what kind of clearance am I even looking for? I have zero math skills so I'm a bit lost on how to go about this. [/QUOTE]
