aight im just gonna stick with this box and if i dont like the port i will block it... i guess i got what i paid for, but for 10 bucks im not gonna do a whole lot of complaining if i end up hating how it sounds ported or sealed then i will think about taking the time to build one
lol i guess my memory is not as good as i thought it was.
i just called my dad and he reminded me that the reason we took the rear timing plate out was cause it was cracked and we did the seals while we were at it
i had it pictured in my head that the seal stop was in front not behind it...
15 1/4" x 12" x 14 1/2" entire box
1 5/8" x 10 1/2" x 10 3/4" port
3/4" wood throughout

the valve cover gasket is at the top of the engine so you would see the oil leaking from up there and going down the block, not coming out the...
that is a weep hole on the front timing cover. seems like one of your seals needs to be replaced if in fact it leaks out that hole. it is either the front main seal or the oil pump driveshaft seal. replacing them involves removing the head so this may not be a job you want to tackle on your own...
CONGRATS!! I told my boss about your car and he thinks im lying...(he doesnt believe a 7m can make a pass like that in the 1/4 without blowing to pieces). keep up the great work.
