So had a good time at BR but my boat didn't work good so after I worked the last two week straight I got time to play with the boat runs great but pulled the dip stick water o shit ok don't panic I found out that the 455 olds has a Turkey pan under intake so this is what I found out when u buy a after market intake on u need to leave out the pan and put in gaskets instead so the guy I bought from is a dipstick he should of made sure what he was doing so this weekend I get to change the oil a couple of times and take intak off and put the gaskets on so my weekend is shot for Laughlin o well just goes to show u if u don't do it your self people can fuck up your weekend.

Just playing the devils advocate here.
How certain are you that it was the sheet metal gasket that caused the issue?
