Finally found my problem...warning to all.

valve checking springs and a mic. I agree 100% with your assesment. Never ever take anything for granted. Check,check and then triple check. Look at everything. like how far holes are threaded and into what. check to make sure you installed all the oil plugs. I even check to see how close the water pump impeller is to the part that it goes against on the timing cover. chase all threads with a tap and clean out with compressed air. Clean clean and clean some more. How bout the distance from the oil pickup to the bottom of the pan? The smallest of things can come back and bite you. THX for the picture!! Good luck and enjoy!
