[T3] 3 weeks

[Max Welton]

No leaking at the heads. It's all coming from the area of the case where
the cylinders seat in the case. And/or the inner pushrod seals. I used case
sealant at the cylinder bases and I don't think that's working out. In
order to view that area I would ordinarily just drop the engine. In a pinch
I could remove the sleds and get a look that way. But to actually fix that,
the engine needs to come out anyway. The state of my back precludes another
such exercise in the next few weeks.
