There is a lot that can go wrong. Dont beat yourself up. The lost money sucks. Its a complex engine with lots of places to leak from.

Apologies to the OP for a brief hijack, but I have my 3.6 pulled out of the car starting to come apart to fix, among other things, through bolt leaks. Did you figure out what caused the through bolt leak on your newly rebuilt engine?
