No I didn't get any pictures. I thought about it, but I didn't want to do that to my digital camera. There was a constant 1/8 inch thick black coating on my hands. It was loosing a quart every 500 miles. I didn't want ya'll to see my crooked tap job either. They aren't pretty but they are sealed.

I finished installing my engine yesterday. The leak from the rear of the engine was the same, possibly worse. I'm going to do the dye in the oil thing and pull the tranny. Anybody got any suggestions? It leaks about one drop every second.

I borrowed a UV light from a mechanic friend and bought some oil dye. My friend told me to use two bottles, but I only used one. I should have use two like he said. I had some difficulty seeing the dye. I tracked it down to the lower gallery that feeds the main bearing. I pulled the plug and wrapped teflon tape around it (4 turns) and tightened it down. I then put the backing plate and flywheel on and I put two bolts to hold the starter on and started it up. It really was not that loud. I let it idle about 5 minutes and no leak.
