A sure fix would be to use aluminum plugs in the aluminum block with liquid teflon.  Same expansion rates with heat build-up.  The steel plugs contract and expand at different rates, causing some of the oil seepage problems in aluminum blocks.  O-rings help, and are supplied by Dart for their aluminum blocks, and Shelby sent a set with my block.  Hope the leakage is simple to fix after all the work and time involved.  Joe-JDC
