ahlem is on a distinguished road
There are some bolt on parts in that neighborhood that need a good look for possible oil leaks.. Timing chain tensioner, Cam position sensor, Vanos Solenoid and valve cover gasket slipped a bit in the re-install and forgetting to put gasket sealer in the half round neighborhood where it dips down at the end of the cams could all be possible.
Also., I talked to a race engine builder at one of our local auto parts stores, a place where they really know their stuff. He said to use block sealer in the coolant and drain and refill coolant after a couple hundred miles. He builds 10K rpm motors and knows his stuff.
