Bob,
Hello there. I wanted to talk to you about the continued oil leak from
my long block. As you may recall it's had a small leak (or leaks, about
1qt/1000mi) since I put it in and I've gone through a lot of parts to try
and solve the problem. I had the main seal replaced several times with
ones you'd sent me, eventually the pulley as well to be sure a bad
surface on that wasn't causing a leak. Greg has also replaced all the
other major seals on parts coming off the engine/oil pump/pcv and
re-siliconed the big flathead screw in the base of the engine. After all
this it still leaks and it seems in both my opinion and Greg's that there
is some imperfection in the case that is causing the leak to continue. I
wanted to see if you'd be willing to work with me to remedy this
situation as it troubles me that after investing a good amount of money
into getting everything running tip-top I can't get my van painted for
fear of ruining the finish with the oil which comes up and onto the
tailgate as I drive. Don't get me wrong the engine runs well but has a
serious oil leak issue and has since day one. I've spent a lot of time
and money to fix it but feel at this point that between myself, my local
mechanic and Greg we've tried everything. Please let me know what your
thoughts are.
Thanks,
Tolga

Greg,
Sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner...things have been crazy here
in NYC as I'm sure you can imagine! Please let me know what I owe you
for the parts you sent off and I'll either send a check or email my
credit info. (I got new cards in Sept as the old ones both expired). I
also still need a few things:
-tail light connector rubber boots (x2)
-2 sets of tail light bulbs
-cooling tin screws/mounts (x5-10)
Are these things you have in stock and could send? Working with Bob on
the oil leak will probably have to wait until spring as I don't see
myself having the time to get out of the city for awhile. Thanks!!!
Take Care,
Tolga
