Just looked at this post after you mentioned the oil problem in another post.

See you live in Nor-Cal. Best in the Bay Area is Roger at RE Engineering in San Jose. Take the info from Johnjzjz with you. Stand up excellent wrench and one of the few who works on pans, shovels, evos and twin-cams and actually gets it right.
