So what you are saying is, I should take off my oil return lines and put some sealant on the gaskets and then re-torque them eh.

If they are leaking, yesBut mine wasn't the return lines, it was the pan itself.

Last night I got it back together, was chasing a phantom oil leak. Looked like it was coming from behind the timing covers, but didn't find anything. Undeleted the AC compressor and lines, relocated my FPR, and installed the ARC2 with 680cc injectors. Also just put in new drivers side axle, the old one apparently exploded on my way back from NG (Made a hellacious mess all over my pretty engine bay) as well as new water temp, oil temp, and oil pressure gauges (dash vents too while the dash was out). Started it up for the first time after NG and sounds like a midget in my crankcase with a hammer. I didn't have the pan off so I don't think that's possible, I'm thinking it's a spun bearing :-(
I was looking forward to some trouble free driving for a while mixed with some e85 to see what 9bs on 9:1 cr would do. So now I'm trying to decide what my new set up will be.
Ugh, sorry to hear. Fingers are crossed here.
