Ya I did.
When I originally lowered it to do the cam I didn't and when it dropped the oil went everywhere. So lesson learned I drained it this time

did you put a small dab of rtv on all 4 corners where it meets the block? nothing crazy, just something to help with how the oil pan gasket is designed.

also i guess those 7.425" pushrods didnt help ya out
