In preparation for engine reinstallation, tonight I filled up the rebuilt 307 with oil prior to priming the oiling system. Rotated crank while doing the priming. Oil pressure great (60psi) and all rockers are oiling. However, discovered a leak (drip) at front of NEW GM Oil Pan..using NEW Fel-Pro one piece oil pan gasket (#64016 for 1957-74 265-400 Engines) ...NEW Mr. Gasket timing cover. Any suggestions welcomed before I tear it down...Could it possibly be the POS Mr. Gasket Timing Cover????? Thanks!
