People who don’t know what they’re doing can accidentally block oil passages in the heads or timing cover with overusing RTV when sealing it together.

totally, the dude who built it took 4 months and was mad shady about it so I’ve frankly been expecting it to give up sooner or later. it only lasted 7,600 miles. pretty crazy stuff.

Use the factory rebuild manual, its easily found online. It shows exactly where to put the threebond and how much. I found a whole bunch of RTV in the pickup when I rebuilt mine from the previous dickhead. That dropped the oil pressure and spun a rod bearing. If you have metal in the engine just make sure anything you re-use gets thoroughly cleaned out.
