well maybe someone can help me with this one. I brought the motor from oasis who brought it from shrek. I had everything installed and sent to start the motor. and it started for 5 sec and oil just started to pour when i mean pour i lost about 1 quart of oil in 5 sec out the back side of the engine. I couldnt see where it was coming from. Does anyone know where it might be coming out of? i havent check anything. as oil were all over the place i will do so today i just need to get a feeler of where i have to start to check. What else on the back side of the motor could have oil pouring out I will check the oil filter to see if its on tight tonight ---

Its NOT the breather plugs for a catch can weather you have them or not, and its def not the black box. There is NO WAY in hell THAT much oil can come out of those places in that amount of time. Your problem is most likely one of two 1. Filter being double O-ringed because of the ring prior to the filter that has been once replaced has stuck to the block orr 2. The head gasket is put on wrong/backwards, this would plug up certain oil passages going form the block to the head causing this much oil in that amount of time to go squirting and pouring out. ---
