Yes, the motor was dynoed and they claimed that it didn't leak while it was running, however within the first minute of running after reinstalling the engine, there was a puddle of oil on the floor. I'm not sure if something is machined wrong with the block or if it is still blowby that is causing the leak. I unfortunately had to accept my loss in getting it fixed by them and eat the Bill. I'm just trying to keep moving forward and get it straightened out so that I can enjoy the car.. That's still my main issue to fix once I get the motor to sit correctly and the clearance issues solved.
I am sorry to ask, but is there more to this story than we have been made aware of? I ask as this started out as valve cover issue that now has evolved into a substantial rear main leak as well as a substantial blowby issue all of which should have been caught on the dyno
I have never heard a bad thing about barton until this post
