Hey Ken, when you put the pins in, did you coat them with any sort of sealer - like locktite stud and bearing mount? This tends to help them not leak/weep a bit.

I've found that sometimes the pins will weep just a bit - so I always start the engine and use a water-glass ceramic seal product from Moroso for the initial break in. Sometimes I do it twice just for good measure. This stuff will seal up the IronTite pins if they are weeping.

Hopefully you can save the block!
