The engine started up and ran great! Unfortunately, I'm spraying oil and I don't know from where. I hammered the oil pan rim flat, torqued things to spec. It seems to not matter. I'm wondering if I'd have better luck if I reinforce the edge w/ a strip of metal and torque those ****ers down tighter. Sure wish I had done that when the engine was on a stand and easily accessible. I really don't want to have to pull the MFer again.
