The oil leak has been a problem since day 1, although it is not as bad. No two gaskets in there. I've atually turned the head on a lathe so a full sized gasket can fit in there without the taper.

make sure you don't have 2 o rings in the oil filter can. That will make it leak.

Nope, it is in its bracket, right behind the computer module. With about 1/8" clearance.

Transmission is great. I still have a leak at the oil filter that I'll work on with my first oil change this weekend. Going to be doing several small things on this 4 dey weekend.
-Like making a new plate holder for the English-style plate I had made for the rear....

Very nice $5.00 must be the coil cover, how's it running is the auto trans working well after all the repairs? I just looked through the build thread a few days ago what a undertaking came out really sweet.
