95 NA started from a fresh rebuild.. Oil pouring out from the Filter Tree and the Block.. Only have a Stock gauge and it works fine, and no sandwich plate.. My oil leak ended up being the 3 short Tree Bolts were too long!.. Same Bolts.. Same Tree, and same engine block.. Had to cut the end off of the bolts to get the gasket to crush to the engine block.. no clue as to why.. ( Gremlins )
I have done two oil changes at 50 miles each, and cut both oil filters.. all looks good so far.. Lotta fine particles and a few gasket sealer pieces..
