    Ahhh Man.....that sucks.

    Could it be something simple like it sucked an intake gasket?

    Hang in there Falcon, I bet it turns out to be something simple involving a minor tear down.

    Sorry to hear this. That is definitely a bummer. I had some similar issues with a project this year and it is a bit of a set back. But, at least all the fab is done and it really looks great in there. I'm not familiar with these engines, but do any oil feed ports go through the block to the head using the head gasket to seal it? On 5.9 cummins it's that way and if the head gasket blows out near the oil feed passage you get oil blowing out the side. Could it be a bad valve seal or seals as well? Hopefully you'll get lucky and it'll be something simple! Good luck sir!

    Fixed! The valve cover vent tube was supposed to be hooked to a fresh air tube on the throttle body but I had it hooked to manifold vacuum. It was sucking oil right out of the valve cover into the intake. Great news but I am going to have to pull the trans back out as the throwout bearing is not disengaging the clutch. But compared to what I though I was going to have to do, that's pretty minor.

    Good news, Falcon!! I'm glad! Hope the throwout bearing goes smoothly!

    At least you have peace of mind regarding the engine now! Sorry to hear about the transmission. I would agree with everyone else that this is good news indeed, vs. an engine tear down!

    OK, clutch is fixed, grill is on, and a couple of annoying oil leaks fixed. Should be road testing by next weekend! I decided to put a short build video together, check it out if you have 8 minutes to spare.

    That was way cool! Great choice on the music too. What did you find in the clutch / tranny to be the issue?

    Road Test! WOOO HOOO!!! LOL..

    No biggie, just didn't have all the air out of the lines. I thought I'd bleed it once more before I pulled it apart and it started working.
