Well It Finally Happened

Your engine was dynoed so the rings should be sealed, never again will that engine see as much load as it did during dyno testing.

Do you have a PCV valve? It is very important to run these to evacuate crankcase pressure. Stroker engines while increasing cubic inches for performance also increase air movement in crankcase as the piston travel has increased. Stock eliminator racers often run 2 pcv valves for the extra crankcase scavenging, I'm told minor ET gains are seen doing this due to the lower pressures they create. I run 2 in my 408 just for extra protection, it can't hurt anyway. Glad you are liking your new engine, they sure put a smile on the face!!!!!
Just wondering how do you plumb up the 2 pcv valves to carb and do you use a cap with the pcv built in on one side as I'm keen on doing this to mine as I have a solid roller 408 and I'm experiencing crank case pressure, it leaks some oil from the rear main seal but only after I've given it a decent run and have got on to it, no oil spraying on headers or Transmission pan. You can see a line of oil down the inspection plate to the base of the bell only will leak a little oil after shut off Checked back of the pan and its dry, checked the filter plate all is good. checked all over to make sure it wasn't leaking from up top all bone dry.
