As I have stated in previous posts, I have an oil leak that is coming from the flywheel area. I am also having leaks from the rear of the engine. That may be that the rings did not seat well and I have blow by now which is pushing oil out of the dip stick hole.
This pic is of the cam plug which I found to be leaking as it is wet with oil around the plug. It is hard to see in the pic.
So, I split the case as I needed to get to the leak from the cam plug.
These are pics of the disassembled engine. I will be taking out all plugs from the oil galleys to clean the case well. I will then take the case to Adrian Audirac here in Vista to clean and inspect the case.
The lifters looked really good.
The bearings looked ok. There were a few scratches on them but overall looked good. The surfaces on the cam and crank looked good also. Nothing a good polish won't fix. The lobes on the cam looked good (not going flat so the breakin procedure worked).

See the post "risking a cracked case". This post has the reason where the leak was actually coming from. It was a crack in the case.
