I just wanted to follow up with you guys. I got the boat back together a few weeks ago and all is good now. The oil loss was between the back of the blocs and the intake. All sealed up and good to go. Milodon 10 quart pans now. We ran her last weekend on the Tennessee River in Florence Alabama and she runs great now. I appreciate the support and advice you guys give out here. It is and was very helpful.

I'd check all the cylinders personally.also double ck spark plug wire location. Make sure you didn't accidentally put back on wrong. Simple things you watch. Fuel pressure ?

ii reccomend replacing the oil cooler after a bearing failure,dam near imposible to get all the junk out no matter how good you flush.
