I could be all wet... I avoid bowties at all cost! But it popped into my head.

yep no seal but can be O ringed.you have to roll the edge of the hole in the block with a lead in the block so not to cut the O ring just did a Big M 598 for this . MSD Dist have this O ring job done . but funny that this works very well with no O rings many BBC and sbc and v6 gm enginea are running fine .just no matter how dumb it seems just like some on the dumb thing ford has done as well and others .not all engines are built the way we like them some of us have done things to make a bad idea better the trick is knowing . the sbc has a ok drain back and oil system some thing is getting way over looked like a under size cam journals .or lifters. or small base circle cam and lifters are droping in to the oil band part of the lifter
