Edelbrock intake oil leak

Hi,

So i got my 318 together last summer and i had a small oil leak. Oil was leaking out from between the edelbrock intake and the block by the timing chain cover by cylinder 2. I took it apart this spring and resealed it (high temp silicone was used both times). It didn't leak idling it around with a shot tranny.

I put a new 904 in it, and finally was able to get on it (5,500 rpm), and of course the seal started to blow alot more oil out than it was before. I got the intake off last night and it is still leaking in the same spot from what i can tell.

It appears that the gasket surfaces don't match up between the intake and the block in the very corner.

has anyone else had this problem? i dont want to keep "fixing" this everytime i get on the throttle hard. Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

STeve



where i beleive it is leaking and not sealing is right below the water port
