The oil dripping from the engine where the head meets the block is getting too much now.The whole block is oiled now and a real pain to keep clean.
I guess the SCE Titan copper are not sealing around the oil hole or the oil return line.
Salution? Dump the SCE gaskets and go back to Felpro? Like Rick said, these gaskest are probably good for racing where engines are torn apart after every race but not for everyday driving.
I have retorqued the heads to 100 Ft/lbs but oil still drips.
I guess there is no way around taking the heads off again and dropping in some felpros. I had cooland leak issues with the felpros (before machining the heads flat)and now I have oil leaks with the SCE.
Is there anything to try before going through a head gasket swap?
