Hi All, couple dumb questions:



Getting the 57 292 together finally. It's still on the stand, I torqued down the heads, bolted the rocker assys and added 2 qts to the pan. I spun the pump with a speed handle. I got good top end oiling and put it away for the night. Today I noticed oil seeping from the back of the pan and dripping on the floor. Its not coming from above, all the galley plugs are in and not coming from the camshaft plug. I snugged the pan bolts and when I wipe it down, it seems to start seeping from the right side of the rear main seal retainer - opposite from the pump. I used the oil pump gasket that came with the pump, but I have another from my master set. Since the oil pump, filter and galley are the only things right now that are full, I figure it has to be a oil pump gasket or mounting bolt. Do the oil pump or rear main seal bolts enter the galley? The rear main seal shouldn't have any contact with oil pressure but I didn't put any sealer on bolt threads. Before I pull the pan off and redo the side seals and pan gasket, should any bolt threads be sealed?



Also, I looked real hard at all my head bolts and the threads don't enter the water jacket, the instructions say apply sealer to any threads that enter the water jacket, I'm used to that on Windsors. Do 292s have any wet headbolts?



Thanks!

I know you can't save them all, but I'm tryin anyway!
