Hi John;
    I had these same symptoms last winter and finally bit the bullet and removed the front cover which is a bit of a challenge to do with the engine mounted, but not impossible (on my mount, anyways). Sure enough, I had the blown front cover o-ring problem. It was easily changed and corrected for by the method described in the Bruce Turrentine video. However as you've just had your engine rebuilt by Bruce, I'd expect it should be good, although sometimes s*** happens to the best of us. I'd recommend a phone call to him and tell him the pressures/temp/rpm that you are seeing.

Thanks, Dave. Just what I wanted to hear :(
There's no sign of any oil leaks.
So... how can you tell if you have a bad front cover gasket?
