So on my fairly recent, less that 500 mile, rebuild, I had a oil analysis done last fall before putting it away.

black stone said it looked ok, but I might have a coolant leak.
But I did use Com Cams break in lube which Comp cams tech line said my cause the oil analysis to look like it has coolant...

Well spring has sprung and I put a pressure tester on the ol beast
I pumped it to 17psi since there was a nice hash mark there.

5 minutes later it was down about a PSI...

I suspect the intake ( shoulda used pattersons gaskets )

Should I pull the intake?
Or am I just being paranoid.

OR...am I not paranoid enough?

Thanks guys
