also, leaks oil out of the fuel rail, not at the injectors, but at the 10mm adapter. not sure if there is a gasket or lack of, but it leaks oil when it starts cranking

You need to be much more detailed in whats going on. A 2 second video clip is not going to cut it.

Oil from the fuel rail is always a bad sign. I would probably start there and see what thats doing in your fuel system.I would go out on a limb and guess thats a huge part of the problem.

And by blowing out your gasket on 1 and 3, I'm assuming your exhaust manifold and not the head gasket. Again, you need to describe what exactly you did to the car and what its doing.

sounds like you need to put the block together again.

if you put the engine together and somehow oil is coming out of the fuel rail you need to find a new hobby. i dont even know how that is possible? but as stated if oil really is coming out of the fuel rail thats probably the reason and where you should start.

sorry for the lack of detail. this whole accounts for a buddy. the blocks been sitting for a while. the tranny blew on him and he had to rip it all apart. i figured it needs to be soaked. we started reassembling this week and the exhaust manifold started spitting in the video. cant get it to crank over.

as for the fuel in the rails, its not a whole lot of fuel leaking, just a couple drops when it starts to crank.

if its not 100 degrees out again tomorrow im gunna rip the block apart for him and start over.

ill post more pictures tomorrow of it when i get to his house.

the gasket on the headers was repaced today, new o-rings on the injectors and flushed fresh oil through everything. i think the headers are coming off tomorrow to check the block. ill post more tomorrow though
