I have had my engine combo for 9years now,I hurt it this year and its been together and running since May this year.
This block,Edelbrock head,RPM intake combo has ALWAYS had an oil leak on the right side. It drips off the starter as if the starter makes oil.
When I had the heads off I looked them over and they didn't appear hurt in any way that would cause a leak. They were not hurt in any way actually.
Over the years I've had the pan off several times and replace the rear main many times,had the trans,flywheel off etc. No leaks I can find on the back of the block.
Replaced the valve covers.
More valve cover gaskets than I can count.
Pulled intake several times to reseal. I've used both Right Stuff and TA31 but never an end seal gasket
I'm trying to figure out how to pressurize the crank case to help find this darn leak.
I feel like there is an external oil plug I'm missing.
It seems to leave about a 2 inch diameter spot after a 10 mile drive.
I'm sure Im missing something but I have had zero luck even slowing it down.
Oh and the oil seems to gather in the #4 plug hole,between the 3 and 4 exhaust bumps.
Its driving me nuts I sure wish I knew what I was doing wrong or missing.
