Hi Everyone,
Hope you are doing well first of all. I am not that much active onto this site, but I do come here once in while to check some topics, updates and so on.
So basically the problem I am having is that Recently I've built a freshly new fully forged 4efte engine (My mechanic did the build) and for some reason it started to leak oil right away from behind the lower timing belt cover. I just finished the running-in for the time being.
The below is what has been done to try and troubleshoot the issue:-
Do you think it is worth taking out the engine, separating the block from the head and closing everything back together? Block has had the surface of the block face done, cylinders bore and honed, main strips, crank polished and balanced, head cleaned, ported and polished, machining of valves and valve seats, face and shimming, replacing of guides so pretty much everything. Head gasket, I used a Cometic one and pistons did them 74.25 oversize.
Have also attached some H.W. that i've done to compare and contrast everything related down there from a normal 4e to a 4efte engine. Any help, to what might be causing this strange oil leak, would be really appreciate it and thanks a lot to everyone

The below is what has been done to try and troubleshoot the issue:-
- We removed both oil pump and sump twice and re-sealed.
- Pump oil seal and Crank oil seal were replaced twice.
- Removed top cover, camshaft plug and camshaft cover and re-sealed everything.
