Where's she leaking from?

Also, looks so much better. Good job brother. Glad you got it done before the weather. Just started snowing here about 30 min ago. Grass is covered and starting to stick to the road.

I realized I was too late cuz I didn't log in yesterday. But, if those isolators you were asking about are really that thick (to add 1/2"), you can remove them. Just slip some heater hose over the first coil of the spring cuz you don't want metal-on-metal. I've never known the isolators to be more than maybe 1/8" thick and not worth removing. Maybe I just had thinner ones or looked at 'em differently.

I used new isolators all good.

Have you done the updated valve cover? That seems like an excessive leak and thought if you hadn't changed the cover, it may be building crankcase pressure and making the leak worse

Updated valve cover, catch can, new VLOM, billet oil pressure block off. Only thing left is front seal/oil pan/or rear main. It leaked a full quart this past week. I have to top it off every Sunday. My parking spots look like grease pits. Sick of it.

Good mechanic can have that rear main seal swapped in a day, if it's on a lift. That sucks buddy

Should I bother with such high mileage? I'd rather just get the new engine and be done with it. Start saving for a trans refresh afterwards.
