I’d put some dye in the oil and use a UV light to verify where it’s coming from. I thought my oil filter pad was leaking but the dye showed a thin trail of oil coming from a fitting above it and pooling there. The dye and light can both be found for under $15 total.

I've had a friend or two use jasper sbc long blocks and never had any issues. About all I can say though. Michigan motorz evidently might need some assembly training. Regardless you got it fixed. Did you prime the engine oil pump prior to installing engine?

Michigan Motorz is clueless. One example alone -- Hell they were selling MEFI 5 marine Inboard engines listing them for sterndrives drop in, plug and play installs. Little did they know all the I/O installs where in for problems. Walmart marine pricing but have no tech info nor that knowledge period.
