Here is the end result for the leak fix. You can see the aluminum ring epoxied onto the #8 nose bearing. The idea is that the ring will structurally support the epoxy that in turn seals and hopefully stop the leak. What's failing is the O-ring seal between case halves and bearing. We'll see if this works.
And next in this close-up with better light you can see the NPT plug that we installed into the oil galley instead of the aluminum galley plug. You can see that it's not exactly trivial to drill this out, then fish the old plug out. The galley is off-center and at an angle.
So far oil pressure is great (just like before) and for the first 20 miles the engine ran fine last night. We'll see how things go. If the engine holds up another 40k - 60k I can gather parts in the meantime and when its time to tear into it build a bullet-proof bottom end with a GT3 crank and Pauters and rather than having to do this stupid emergency tear-down.
