Son of a.. Did I have the head gasket flipped upside down?

I could have sworn I lined it up right when installing

Your video dnt wrk on my iPhone but it should a easy fix, trace the oil leak. I'm almost sure it's from oil filter or maybe you pinched down you oil an gasket when tourqin down the oil pan causing the leak. Those are the only area that channels oil where people failed to check.

The block say it's a Gsr so I'm guessing it can't be a lsvtec oil line rite? So check those area. Also did u lube the seal on the oil filter when u put it on?

Gotta be the head gasket upside down man. Seen it before. Sad to say but, better tear it down again.

If it coming between the head and block then of crose you messed up on the HG bro. Only reason why oil well leak from between there. Unless somthing was stuck between there too.

Yeah it's flipped the wrong way. The oil pours out from the block on the vtec oil supply feed.
