Wow, this is better than any soap opera or game show. It actually has a happy ending (crossing my fingers at the moment). Alss, update us as soon as you know.

There is a lesson here. When you build an engine, always pre-lube it on the stand with a priming shaft. May not be able to catch a mechanical problem or assembly error, but a problem like this, or a missing galley plug would have easily been found.

69SSZL1 is correct. If this is an 053 block. The relief valve and the filter nipple have to be purchased separately and installed by the user. For some reason they don't come with the block. I left it out of the first ZL-1 I built and had about the same numbers as you're seeing. Easy Fix

Relief Valve
