Same here Steve, once I finish my coffee and get off the computer. I put traps in where I park vehicles after seeing some mouse activity, time to check my trap line.

I`m under the impression that an old truck is never ever truly finished John.

This was a used motor with 50,000 miles on it and sat for 16 years, the seals were hard as nails..I have an oil leak at the front of the motor that's making a real mess everywhere that I need to find

Much the same as my 80 Mercury 302, it's sat for 8-10 yrs, I hope it doesn't start leaking any time soon. I had it running only for a short time last summer.

This was blowing blue smoke at start ups so I knew the seals were bad, this is the first time I ever changed them on anything. Didn't realize how easy it was..I'm thinking the leak might be from the distributor . The O-ring might not be thick enough so I'll remove it tomorrow and check that out..

390 Ford engines are famous for leaking distributor seals, front and rear intake gaskets. Easy fixes but take time.

I'm hoping it's just that O-ring, from what I understand oil pooling on the timing cover is a common thing on these sbf 's
