Hmmm, that could be why I go through a quart of oil every 250 miles with no apparent leaks and no smoke....
When I last put my heads on, I waited about an hour before I fired it up
Sweet...
Thread sealer would prevent water leaks, not oil.

Capri306, it only leaks when I fire it up, it does not need to be up to operating temp, pressure dependant is my answer. I was hoping it was the block because it was 100% gauranteed and decked, sonic tested, the full works. Houston Engine and Balancing in Houston did it and said it was all tested perfect. If the sealant doesn't work with the 95ft/lbs, then I will have the block tested again. They have a very high reputation and have never had a block come back. I wanted to say the heads because I didn't have this problem before I got them milled, but I got them tested.
