Wade,
Thank you for reminding me of your earlier post. Taking that into consideration as well as goat2789's post about his engine leaking while installing it but not while it is running, I went ahead and put the engine and transmission back in. The leak on mine was uniformly seeping around the entire diameter of the crankshaft, further reinforcing the theory about the serrations on the crank. If it had been a bad installation job, I would have expected to see the leak more confined to the parting line. I am hoping to fire this thing up sometime in the next week or two, so I will definitely report back when that happens.
