Dammit. That's almost like the rear main's installed backerds it's leakin so bad. Yall will ultimately be happy with too "small" a cam in a truck, I do believe. It sounds good.

Thank you Rusty. I have a new rear main seal I will install, and I’ll do the intake manifold gasket too, it leaks a tiny bit. The rear main is not that bad anymore, I need to clean the mess up and see what it’s doing. It kinda stopped after I hooked up the PCV.

I’ll leave the cam for now. Ultimately I REALLY want solid flat tappet cam. I have a real nice set of 273 rocker arms I had RAU do the works treatment to. So if I can later use a similar cam, only solid.
