Depending on how the plate is made inside, there could be a puddle there, but no real pressure. Next question- what is that fitting that's shown in your picture? My (2nd gen) engine doesn't have any sort of port there. Is this something Bruce added, maybe oil return from the redrive, or is it some port that's only on the 3rd gen? If I had an oil drain coming back to that point on my engine, it would be an oil leak :-) Rusty (decided to wait for UPS to finish putting my engine together) ------=_NextPart_000_0003_01C50EBE.D94CA0A0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Message
