Edelbrock oil leak. Finally figured out why!
I spoke to one of the local engine guys who's been around a long time doing motors and he recommended using JB Weld as apposed to welding in some material and risking warpage. He said I could have a piece machined also and then tap in some tiny machine screws to hold it in, but the JB was the easiest to do. So that's what I did and it turned out pretty good actually. Havn't installed the intake yet, but the JB Weld did the trick!!
@skips dart...thanks!
