My stock stroke mild 360 build ;)

Alright! I’ll run it!

I have to fix my leak issue. By not hooking up my PCV the first 5 minutes or so, is that what potentially caused my leak?

Rear main seal, and top right side corner of manifold
At 20 seconds into the video from post 57 I think I can see a push-in style breather in the right side valve cover. If so, there is no way your pcv caused any oil leaks by not being connected, so don’t worry about that. Just fix the leaks and move on. It happens.
Cool to see it running. Looks good too.
