I have been getting oil laying in the vally pan after a run. can not figure out where its coming from. the pan is not cracked and has been changed 3 times. I use the felpro 1215, with the thin paper gaskets on either side of intake and RTV red on both ends and in all four corners. no oil shows on paper gaskets when removed. this is not a "film" or droplets, this is oil puddled in pan. clean it off, make a pass, check and its back. anyone seen this before? (440, cast iron heads, team G manifold, 1050 carb)

Thanks, Brian Dunnigan

do you seal the intake man. bolts with rtv?

I have not sealed bolts, but bolts are always tight.

look real close along the valve covers, also run a small bead of silicone along the pan and intake, it might not be right but I didn,t want to take mine apart and reseal, it worked for me, still not sure where it was leaking, Tim

The crazy thing is that the exposed intake surface of the heads, the intake manifold, distrib. ect, all dry. not even droplets.

Right now I'm scratching my head, not like I'm new to this BB racing thing, but I'm open to ANY & ALL susgestions. Believe me, I'm willing to try most any thing at this point.

Have you looked at the rear oil pressure sender/ oil line area?

Thanks for the help guys, any one else with ideas will be greatly appricated.

Brian

Yes, its dry there too.

Stupid question. But have you angle grounded the heads? Also the oil presure senser will sometimes only leak (spray) on top end.
