Default Oil Return Tube Seal Conclusion

As some of you know I discovered that my right side head end oil return tube seals had somehow split during the rebuild. After driving 400 miles after lifting the engine I decided it was time to stop tempting the oil leak gods and dove in for the replacement.

Here is a link to a picture I just posted on Pelican showing the split seals:

Also included in the picture is the case end of a tube after trying to re-install. Bottom line is that this project should be a no-brainer but when you encounter difficulties like I did last night and today it turns into a freakin' nightmare !

Looks like I can now add this project to the resume

BTW, the car is wheels down again and ready to roll thanks to Charlie's tubes he left with me otherwise I'd have been SOL today.
