I pulled the rear cap and did apply the sealant where the picture shows to do it. The seal lip is pointed inwards so that the oil will get under it and push it outwards, like it is supposed to.

About the oil, my next plan is to get some cam oil that is specially formulated with extra ZDDP for flat tappet engines by the Boss oil company. It is available here locally at some Napa stores.

How did the gas get in the oil? In my 66 it happened after buying a new gas cap. Air could enter like when it got cold out but come spring time when it is warm it would pressurize. I drilled a hole to fix that problem. I guess I'll never know how it happened on the 79 donor truck.

Opinions are welcome on what colour to paint the engine? I have a white car that has a red engine and red interior so I think I have enough red. The 66 truck is green and I am leaning towards keeping the engine in its original 79 blue.
