KBGRIZZLY64 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Ya I swapped my oil pan and if every bolt isn't in it will leak... what sealant did you use? Priorities change when car parts come into the equation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBGRIZZLY64 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Don't think it would make a difference I used RTV black. You may have to get crafty tap and find larger bolts... sorry man Priorities change when car parts come into the equation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorris6689 Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 Yeah that's what I was thinking and I'm not too positive that the oil pan seals well anyways. It is one of the few items that I did not replace even though the seller of the short block said it was brand new it clearly was not, and the so call professional machine shop that assembled it did a very poor job, which is why I had to rebuild it and replace most of the internals. Not to mention some one had painted the block pink, then silver to cover up the pink and when they painted they did not cover up any oil gallies or coolant passages. This guy basically sold me his $2200 drop in ready piece of crap. No wonder he didn't return calls after it was sold and delivered to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1055 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Permatex makes a product called the right stuff. Order/buy it. Its an RTV product that you put anywhere you never want to leak again. Its simply amazing shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorris6689 Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 Awesome man, thanks for the info!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorris6689 Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 I fixed the oil leak but, when I tried to start it, all I got was a loud back fire. I have fuel and spark obviously, and all my cams are in time, tomorrow I'm pulling off the crank bolt to check that the crankshaft is in time with the oil pump. Other than a timing issue I don't know what it could be. All my timing components are brand new. Tensioner is holding tension and it's the Kevlar belt. Anyone else have an idea?

1055 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Just a single loud backfire? You're sure you're not 180* out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorris6689 Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 I'm pretty sure I'm not but ill be double checking today, when I check to make sure my oil pump and crank are timed together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorris6689 Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 I checked all the timing and everything is timed properly, no idea why this thing won't start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strizzy Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Are your fuel return/feed lines swapped? I've seen that happen multiple times when starting an engine for the first time. Crank, crank, crank, crank, crank, BANG, wtf just happened?!??? My bad luck build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 How about the coil pack connectors? Did you make sure white ones are towards the front of the engine, and black ones in the back? The guy who rebuilt my engine messed that up on the driver side. Luckily I checked that out before my engine went back in the car . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisisthenewsic Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 As much as I hope it's a simple fix for you(cheap) it sucks if it is, especially when it's something maybe you overlooked. Have had it happen to me before. N suck but at least it'll be running again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorris6689 Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 I was wrong, my coil packs were connected improperly, easy fix, atleast. I have the shop I took it too heli coiling the oil pan. So no more oil leak. But it fired right up and it did just like it used to, she beat the ground with those cams it sounded amazing, I missed it. But the shop forced air technigies wi have it ready on Monday for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
