George & Marlin, its a mystery to myself and my engine builder,, the small pin in the cap was removed for the neoprene seals and the cap hole sealed with silicone, it was reinstalled for the rope seal instalation.none of the seals seal. at this point we can only think its a problem with the block some how or the crank shaft itself. we will figure it out at some point and I will post the cure, thanks for the imput. If you think of anything else let me know....
