Tipped the engine back on the stand for a day and watched the oil drip out the rear. I first found an oil pan leak, and once I got that cleared up I found the rear main dripping too. I think I bungled the seal install. Pics from the disassembly are a few replies up.
Sounds like the BOP seal is the way to go with this crank given the serrations. I reached out to Butler to get their two cents since they put a lot of these together. I also asked about using a smidge of sealant under the rear main cap
Just to confirm, this is an Eagle aftermarket crank.
