ok, so I started to pull apart the motor to replace the base shims..

where is all this oil coming from?
my head nuts were loose, I think the oil was coming from the head stud to the case?

anyone else run across this?Attached Image

it looks like my cylinder was leaking also...

Did you torque the heads in the proper sequence?

I didn't & have cylinder head oil leak after 20 years ( minor, but major on a CW car). Took a shortcut - got burned.

It DOES leak. It DOES make a mess. I AM stupid. I WILL fix it this spring.

DUMB, DUMB, DUMB. Got expert advice. Didn't listen. Paying for it now.

Anyone know if you can change this seal/gasket without removing the motor?

Apologize for hijacking this thread.
