Rear Main Seal -- leakleak..leak.

Ok, so i have a puzzle here , we have a 289 in house that is driving us nuts.

it is a 2pc rear seal, and it has been sleeved. (rear main) the sleeve is .08" larger than stock OD and we have tried stock type neoprene seals and a rope-graphite seal - and it still leaks.

Neoprene is inserted into clean channel with permatex 400 sealant.

-we checked crank case pressures and PCV setup and they are good, compression is 120psi on all cyls and leaks less than 5%. --so it is not blowby.

any ideas >?
