How did you seal the leak at the bottom of the bore?

And how did you fix the low oil pressure due to long remote filter lines?

1. Barsleak?

2. Remove the remote filter and reinstall the factory setup.

After cleaning up all of the oil drips and laying down a layer of bentonite, floor dry, to spot any water. And filing the rad and wiping up any water spills, I pressurized the rad to 20psi.

Fixed a couple of hose clamp leaks, but that was it. No seepage or leaks I could find.

The strange thing is that the pressure would drop rapidly to about 15psi after about 10 minutes, then slowly stabilize at 12psi. Can't explain it.

I repeated this test several times, but could find no leaks of any kind. I will recheck it tomorrow night to see if drops below 12psi. If it is stable, back into the car it goes.
