Oil leak found! Last bolt driver's side wicking down bolt. But the hole is in the bell housing area, must be wicking between gasket form the inside.

Bolt in front of it was loose . Pulled them both and no bolts and not dripping. I do not think the brace was hitting pan like the Milodon on my new 400. had to grind it in the curve.

Nice numbers Skip. I have the Stump puller going in a 400 stroked with KRE heads in the future. I'm curious on the spring pressures. You said you shimmed to get 174 on the seat. Do you have any open pressure numbers? Thanks

I.m not sure is I have open. In fact cleaning out a drawer the other day I found my sheet of IH and seat pressures.

I did not hear any ticking but the dyno room was kind of loud.

Testedf or the oil pan leak after tightening bolts and some extra RTV. That is good but at the 'tilt test" looks like the rear main seal is leaking! Dead center drip .
