Angry ITS ALIVE!!!!! and its DEAD!!!!!

ITS ALIVE!!!!! and its DEAD!!!!! well finally got everything together and fired it up started right up stumbled a little and then it ran smooth. checked all the fluids everything was in check no leaks all looks good. time for the test ride. start backing up and there is a lake of oil with a trail following me. now I'm getting a little pissed so I crawled under there and found it was leaking from around the oil pressure sender no big deal I pulled it out resealed it and reinstalled it started it up and checked again pissing out all over. turned out where the oil pressure sender screws into the adapter on the block is cracked. now I have to take damn near the whole thing apart again to replace it. o well its been sitting for 9 months what another day. I'm going to go see if I can get it done.
