Yeah I got lucky, called the local shop and they didn't have a tub, but recommended a guy who does only 20 miles down the road. He knows what hes doing too, even went ahead and media blasted it

Took for a dive and it was great. Until I lost all oil pressure and now I have water in my oil......

I guess I messed up the intake gasket?

Looks like in changing the gasket out tomorrow, I can see coolant leaking from the back of the intake...

Any tips on how to not let this happen again?

Yeah, guess I didn't use enough. In pretty sure it's the rubber piece that goes along the back of the intake
