Teflon tape works better than dope (paste), Especially with oily fittings.

while you have to be careful with some of their stuff, most of it is good!! Just my opinion.

Where's the oil pressure switch? Is it behind the CDR? If it's leaking do you just replace it?

Yes, behind the CDR, If the switch itself is leaking replace it.

It could be the CDR, the CDR grommet into the valley pan, valve covers as well.

The CDR is new and I made sure everything was in good shape before reinstalling the assembly. I'll check to see if it's still working and look for that switch.

I just got my injectors and return kit in the mail from Russ today. I plan on replacing my injectors and while I'm doing that, replace the valve cover gaskets. I'd like to try to take care of everything in that area while I'm in there.

If you need a socket to fit the injectors, let me know and you can borrow mine if you want to. I went and got a new set as I didn't have a 1" deep socket at the time.
