Break In Disaster????????

My goodness it must be coming out like a fire hose directly at the valve cover gasket?

It is coming out there pretty fast and might be a bit exaggerated because of how tiny the crack is. I might try to get a video of it tonight after work.

I'm sorry about comment about the heads being on backwards. My wife says I have the worst sense of humor. I guess it really was a BAD joke.
So no the heads cannot be on backwards.It's impossible.
One thing nm9 may have missed is a cracked shaft at that hole, which is what I was thinking in a previous post. But it's far more likely to be the spacer or the bolt.
Also, just because the bolt reaches it's torque spec , does not automatically mean it's correctly installed.If the bolt is too long for instance, it could bottom in the hole,reach torque spec, but not be tight. Or if there's something in the bottom of the hole. or the bolt shoulder ends up in the wrong place,or if threads are bad,etc.

It's ok, I figured it was a joke but then nm9stheham said the hikes should have been 4 on the passenger and 2 on the drivers which made me second guess all of that. I'll check and see if it is bottoming out, I can see it isn't seated right compared to the others but didn't want to squeeze the shaft out there. I do have the correct spacing or the spacers S/B/S/B/S.

^^^ All that... (and the holes on the shaft as installed ARE point down, right? Just checkin'.....)

Do you have the rocker shafts on correctly? There is a right ans wrong way.

The notch in the end should be pointing down and to the rear on the passenger side and down and to the front on the driver's side.

OR if they do not have notches, just make sure the oiling holes point down and toward the springs and not toward the intake side. Simple enough.

The notches are correct, drivers down and to the front and passenger down and to the rear.

Thanks to everyone for their input, it's given me a lot of food for thought. Another question, could to much pressure cause a rear main seal failure, because I noticed some oil coming from the bottom of the transmission and it didn't appear to be trans fluid?
