Aluminum Block 427 Install

[Ripped]

Sorry to hear about your oil leaks and engine saga. Kind of going through similar issues ripping the engine, in and out again and again is not fun.

Have you opened the oil filter, to see what is inside the filter?

The excess cork is a PITA, but likely didn't get all through the system or past the filter.

I'd be more concerned if you saw an excess amount of bearing material in the filter
