Re: 55 in NH build
Well I got the engine back together. Decided to try the silicone one piece oil pan gasket. When I got the truck it had a freshly build 305 but it was spaying oil everywhere. It had looked like it was happening for a while. I knew he had swapped the cam so I figured it was the front seal. After receiving all the parts I pulled all the front of the motor off. Everything was coated in oil and I couldn't tell where it was coming from. After some research I think I figured it out. The PO had put a block off plate and was running an electric fuel pump. On the front of the block there was a bolt missing that goes straight into the block into the fuel pump. I believe it was squirting oil onto the belts and flinging it everywhere. Took advantage of a sale and ordered a Billet Specialties wheel for the truck.
