I used liquid gasket on each side. I've built over 20 engines using the cork gasket this way and have never had one fail. Should be more than fine.

If you notice the direction that I was grinding, no sparks were being thrown at the glass. All is fine. Glass is still smooth as a babies bottom. Promise. :drink1:
Nose chunks just had one of those braided an lines for the oil feed fail on him. Not the first either.
And ya the oil pan gasket is not supposed to have a cork gasket. Comes from the factory with only fipg.

Nice build! But I couldn't help but think the same thing about the glass because unfortunately I wasn't so lucky and totally forgot to cover the glass which resulted in little tiny divots:: angry ::

Well that sucks for him. The AN line will be just fine if installed properly. I've never seen a properly installed AN fitting blow off and we used thousands of them on oiling systems aboard my Submarine. :bigthumb:
Cork Gaskets fail when improperly installed. There is no reason this setup will fail due to how it was installed and due to the fact that it was used in conjunction with RTV. If we had not used the RTV, I could see a possible issue. His oil pan originally had an RTV/cork combo on it and it had no leaks before either. :dunno:

I was curious and had to check that out for myself. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v135/nosechunks/IMG_1567.jpg
Damn is all I can say. I cant speak for the softline Ive never used one. However the fear of that happening with me as my luck isnt good makes me glad I went with ARZ's hardline. I do have a few friends running a SS braided line and I hope they hold up.
Nice build thought OP, surprised to see a 92 with a 6M crank
^Yikes
That being said, I trust Jordan's judgement, so that's probably what we'll stick with.
I was surprised by the 6m crank too, haha. We were definitely not the first people to dig into this particular motor...

Thanks! :thumbup:
It definitely wasn't when we started. I tanked so many of the parts because they were just covered in a thick layer of grime. It's definitely clean though now. That's for sure. :naughty:
