once it leaks it has made a path and has to be redone.i use ultra copper but not that it matters.[ultra or 100% silicone clear]i found that useualy the tuneup made it leak so check yours from ring blowby,timing or fuel.

You might try Yahmabond or a similar crankcase sealer that hey use on motorcycle engines. On my big stroker Harley I had to go with that instead of base gasket for the cylinders. To much pressure would blow the base gasket out. A Harley race engine builder told me to use the Yamhabond, no more leaks or gasket blow out.
Still Broke

Hope its not blow-by! I just put this engine together. I still need to set the timing. My return from the turbo runs into the stock fuel pump location. The girdle seems to be a bit higher than the oil pan would have been. After I installed the timing cover I neglected to double check the dowl pin on the passenger side and the cover nippled out a bit below the dowl. I am assuming that with the turbo return flowing a large amount of oil to the area beside the timing chain therefore flooding it with oil making it come out more?? I gotta get the timing cover off and correct that leak then see if the girdle is still seeping. It may be the oil running down the pan rail from the cooling fan blowing it to the rear.
