Ah, yes, that makes sense, could see that happening if oil doesn't get to that seal fast enough. I am planing to spin up the oil pump when ready for that to prime the whole motor and get the oil flowing before I fire it up. So hopefully that would prevent that regardless. But I'll still get a little oil on it to start with just in case. Doing that rear main seal as best as I possibly could so it doesn't leak was one of my main goals on this motor. So I don't want to take any chances with it. Thanks Frank.
