Well,
got my motor rebuilt.
Took a bunch of time painting and assembling everything.
I'm still waiting on a Holley 2 barrel base plate so I can finally tune it right.
I ran my initial break-in.
Now I have a leak.
I thought it was the rear main seal so I pulled the transmission.
Well. looks like it's the oil pan gasket so the motor is coming out again.
I can't sem to find a rubber oil pan gasket for the 2.8.
Question is: can I get away with making a gasket out of RTV?
Has anyone done this with good results?
I dunno, I just want this to be the last time I have to pull the motor for a couple of years.
