And unless Huffaker did something different there is no rear seal other than the scroll on the end of the crank. Sounds like way too much pressure in the crankcase. <br><br>Sent from my keyboard</div><div><br>On Mar 30, 2015, at 9:57 AM, <a href="mailto:jeffsbugeye@gmail.com">jeffsbugeye@gmail.com</a> via Spridgets <<a href="mailto:spridgets@autox.team.net">spridgets@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>

I started it after the rebuild and all looked well after I discovered that I had the distributor drive gear in 180 out. That took me a while to figure out until I replaced all of the plug wires 1 went to 4 and 4 went to 1 and 3 to 2 and 2 to 3.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1427714597738_25358" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1427714597738_25358" dir="ltr">Ok. Here is my real question after running for about 20 minutes with varying engine speed, I noticed that about a quart and a half of oil decided it didn't wish to stay in the engine any longer and was being deposited on the driveway by way of the hole in the bottom of the transmission. What happened here? What should I check?</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1427714597738_25358" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1427714597738_25358" dir="ltr">By the way, the engine is running 11.5 :1 compression and all so high compression.
