2 or 3.

Also determined that my oil leak was coming from the damn dipstick tube hole (it was broke off before I put the engine in). So now I gotta figure out how to get the broken half out so I can put the new one in.

I'm no Dr. so I'm not all that smart but wouldn't it have made more sense to replace the dip stick tube before putting it all back together?

Tried. Couldnt get it out and didnt have a long enough drill bit to drill it out. I didnt think it would spray oil like it is though, so I just wasnt gonna worry about it for awhile.

Time for some jb weld haha

Welp. Not able to get the dipstick tube out yet, but the good news is that in my quest to squish it inward enough to grab it, it closed off the hole. No more oil leak.

Also adjusted my timing and figured out why it was cutting out. Set the timing at 18*. The fuel issue was actually my inline filter clogging up. Had some weird white milky substance in it. Pulled the filter, shook some gas around it, and drained it out. No issues after that.

New coil ordered. Gonna start slowly switching my ignition system over to MSD.
