OK, I am back on track, had some unexpected things that took me away from this adventure.
I pulled the side cover, put water in the system and pressurized the cooling system. I had a gusher coming out of the pass through oil line fittings. After reading the thread from last year, it looks like I have at least two choices, us a lot of sealer or replace the line and fittings. Probably go with the new parts, as per HRL's comments on the old thread. I am not looking forward to threading the new copper line through the water jacket though.
