you have to do a better job on the pics and the dye. put it on ramps or lift one side at a time. i had the smallest crack in a pan at the top so when i parked it at an incline it would leak. i just put epoxy over the crack and that fixed it.

if it is the rms, take it out again if it's really bothering you, put it in a stand, remove the oil pan, remove, the rear bearing cap, remove the old rms, install a repair sleeve, install a regular felpro seal, put some black silicone on the outer edge of the bearing cap, install the bearing and cap, torque to spec, install a blue fel pro oil pan gasket, tighten the bolts.

use permetex #2 on the flywheel bolts and torque to spec.

Thats if it is the rms leaking of course.

How are you venting this engine?

 

[kjb302ho]

no need for an evac pump. They do promote better ring seal but vented valve covers are fine.

Make sure its the rms. might be an intake or valve cover. you never know

 

[kjb302ho]

If you've got a PCV set up, that functions right you don't need an evac system.
You wouldn't need to remove pan to install crank sleeve and new rear main seal, hadn't heard of putting RTV on rear main cap, but if it's not leaking from there may not be necessary.

i just put a little on the outside edge of the cap where it sits on the block. i feel its good good practice and doesn't hurt anything.

anything that's exposed to the rear of the block.

you can do a rms and sleeve in the car. i suggested yanking it out since he's so good at it now lol!

all jokes aside, pull it out, do everything, check, everything, stud everything, new oil pan, rms procedure i listed, use the permetex #2 on flywheel holes, redo the intake, use right stuff on the china rails, use studs on the intake.

I did 16 ford engines last year, 2/3 were mustang pushrod. i did the exact same thing to every single one of them.

drain the engine, add a very light oil, 0w-20 4 quarts, add the dye. remove the distributor and prime the engine. let it spin for a minute. look for leaks. turn 90* repeat. do this until you find something. I am pretty confident you'll find it. if you dont, pull the engine and sell it to me. Where are you located?

 

[kjb302ho]

pm me when you find the leak if you want any tips. done with this thread.

 

[kjb302ho]

Mr. Woods knows light years more than i do about ford engines and assembly. thats how he makes his living. His customer service is top notch. Knowing that he built your engine and went out of his way makes all my suggestions completely inadequate.

Stick with one chef in the kitchen or fix it yourself. Or sell it to me.

 

[kjb302ho]

Moron who isn't running a PCV on his street engine wonders why he has leaks. Blames/slanders the engine builder. Doesn't listen to anyone. Makes double and triple angry posts. Plays the victim by accusing everyone else of "ganging up on him."

Seems like a typical Deplorable Trumpster move, by-the-way. Act like an ignorant, petulant douch nozzle and then blame everyone else for all your problems. Just like your cult leader.


That about sum up the thread or did I miss something between page 2 and page 9, which I did not read?

Easy on the politics. I would like to reread this thread in the future.

Let's Go Brandon btw lol

 

[kjb302ho]

Really, between the candidates we've had to choose from recently, has there been what one might consider a possible positive outcome? Rhetorical question, please don't discuss, LOL!

Jay
