That's what it was. Now I just have to figure out where the oil was coming from. It almost looked like it was around the intake towards the back of the engine?

Well I got the whole engine tore down today. Pulled out Main and rod bearings and they were already shot after 800 miles. Also found the cause to the ticking noise. It was the intake cam not being tightened down all the way. Some of the bolts were backed out so far they were hitting the valve cover. Also got the block primed and painted. Bearings will be in Monday and the gasket set should be in by Tue or Wed. I labeled everything so hopefully I will be able to get it back together. Wish me luck

Does anyone know what this oil line is supposed to hooked up to that is coming out the side of the block?

That’s the coolant drain plug for the block,

And that is the plug that is actually bolted on the block?

Well my main and rod bearings came in today so I installed them all and put the oil pump back on. Now I'm waiting on the gasket set. The set I ordered is from JIS, has anyone else tried their gaskets? Also I'm thinking of pitching the 3 layer MHG and installing one like felpro, at least that type of material, any suggestions?
