Several weeks ago I had both heads replaced (both sides cracked) on a recently purchased boat/engine- 1999 5.0GI PWTR with SX drive.
The mechanics put the engine back together but it leaked oil from the back of the intake manifold near the distributor, actually right near the oil pressure sensor. I took it to a partner dealership closer to the house to get it fixed again, but it still has the same leak.
At Idle, it puffs smoke out of a small hole in the RTV sealant between the intake manifold and the block; while running under load it blows out oil. As far as i've seen there is no actual gasket, just a line of sealant in this area.
Any suggestions for getting this right- I'm considering asking for my money back and doing it myself.
- Thanks
