I finally fired up my newly built 416 this week and drove it about 20 miles up to the muffler shop to get some exhaust hooked up. It was a nice drive with open headers. Temp was good and oil pressure held at about 60 to 70 psi. When we got it up on the hoist there was an oil leak at the front of the pan. Being I have 7 quarts in it and it lost less than a quart on the way up I drove it home. By the time I got home it was leaking pretty bad. It looks like the front rubber gasket squeezed out on one side and squeezed in on the other. Looks like the motor has to come back out to fix it as there is no room around the pan with the K member, steering and headers. Being I have about 10 grand into the motor and installation this year it is very frustrating. Hopefully I can have it fixed by next weekend.
