... I've also seen where the intake manifold gaskets weap... and the oil winds up working its way to the back of the motor. I agree about the cam sensor and/or the valley cover gasket.

Well I got back on the road last week. I really want to give a hell yeah out to Vince @ FLT. Again top notch non-customer service. I didn't buy from them but he was a big help and unbelievably honest guy to talk with. Tons of respect for some one like himself and his company. Those guys go out of there way to make sure YOU are good to go.

My builder replaced everything. Just the case is original. Okay, input output shafts maybe. LOL We don't know what specifically the problem was, but are banking on a bearing failure. I sent the Suncoast 2800 back to suncoast and ofcourse they won't admit to any failures in their product, especially since I had them restall it to 2400. I never liked the 2800.

Well, I had XLR8NSS and Holty with me for most of the weekend, they say it runs great, I guess I am to analytical. I swear it slips too much past 2400. I want a tight stall speed. They swear I am an idiot and it works great. I don't know. Anyways, I am back on the street, let's see if I can break it again. I'll tell ya one thing, I haven't had a great working trans for a long time that's for sure. My tune was all fubar'ed. I have been tuning the trans to compensate for the problems so long it was miles from correct. I have it pretty good right now.

As for the oil leak, what about the oil pressure sender on the top back?
