Message	Thanks Zvil, that had happened to me with my "old" engine when I had rebuild the hydraulic lifters (via the "Lifter Rebuild 101" tutorial on this site). A few of the lifters had too much oil in them and would not compress all the way causing leaks on those cylinders. I wish it was this easy but needless to say, that was one of the very first things I had tried on this rebuild engine... but no luck... it's not the lifters. :(
