There's a funny statement about the 427FE:

Q: How do you know if a sideoiler is out of oil?
A: It stops leaking
Make sure when the flywheel is reinstalled that U use sealer(Red Loctite preferred) on the bolts. The crank holes communicate into the oil pan & if threads aren't sealed U can get a leak that way. Then most folks think they have a rear seal leak. Have seen it numerous times in my shop...
