Long story short, ended up rebuilding my engine used a new eagle crank, oil port mod on 2g head, evo squirters etc,etc.
Got the car together and had a serious oil leak from my OFH, which I ported the oil relief before installing. Pulled the OFH and replaced the the gasket. Thought I was done but still had an oil leak. Tore the whole front done to make sure my front main was not leaking - it isn't.
Pulled the Oil filter housing again and the gasket all along the bottom is ripped and oil soaked. Obviously the problem.
What am I doing wrong - this is the second gasket that has failed on me?
What type of sealant should I be using? I used red RTV last time.
As a side note the car is running better than it ever has - except for the leak.
