Re: How can I get this to seal?
That port goes to exhaust. Never had much luck with silicon or epoxy. Last one i did i used the EGR plate,milled off the mount on the back and plugged the two holes with pipe plugs.

Re: 880 block - 5.7 rod stroker problem
There is about .080 - .100 difference in bore length in an 880 and older 010 blocks. Using 6 " rods will move pivot point up .300 so there less side pressure at bdc. Lot less skirt wear.

Re: LS oiling problem
I always take pump apart then mount loosely use 4 shims between rotor and pump housing to center it then tighten housing.have seen diy mechanics get it in a bind and burn up pump rather quick.
