Okay, first time turned the key and she fired right up, brought to 2000 rpm and her there for almost 15 min until I noticed a fair amount of oil under neath (about 1/4 pint). Shut if off to investigate. Cannot find but it is somewhere in the vicinity of the oil pump. Removed I/C braket to see pump better but still cannot locate. I checked pump bolts and all were tight. Checked valve cover and intake and nothing is coming from up top. Looks like it is also running betwen starter and pan flange but this could be from windage.
Wiped it all off and restarted. This time with the fuel pressure backed down cause it was about 50 psi. Backed it down to 42 while at 2000 rpm and noticed withing 2 min. that the header on cyl 3/5 were starting to glow red. Shut it off immediately to let cool and still try to find the oil leak.
1) Why did the header get so hot and did I hurt anything?
2) Any suggestions on where my oil might be coming from?
With all the care I took in using proper sealant and torque specs I am somewhat surprised, but, oh well. Have to find & fix.
