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 confused shruggy I have never heard a bad thing about barton until this post shruggy
