It hasn't been mentioned in this thread, but Dave from West Coast Cylinder Heads said the same thing. I'll be dismantling the supercharger this weekend and will find out for sure.

Thanks for mentioning that though

My heads have been off twice without resurfacing, no leaks.

Yes sir!! You did a great job! Nice and clean looking..

Message him directly. I don’t want to give out wrong information.

UPDATE:
I took off the Heartbeat supercharger tonight and found that the leak was due to a bad gasket at the Valley Pan/Cover. I already have a new complete Valley Pan coming in on Wednesday.

Here is the odd thing: All of the Valley Cover screws except for the front 2 were super loose. I was able to turn them without a wrench. I’m surprised it wasn’t leaking more. Not sure if this was due to the gasket being bad (the rubber lining was completely flat) or if this came like this from the factory. No one has ever been in there except me and I have never touched those bolts.

Either way, problem found and about to be solved.

There is definitely some oil residue in the supercharger intake ports. Going to clean those up.

Now to replace the oil pan gasket after I get the crossmember cut and flanges installed this Friday. I feel like my car is no longer going to be wounded. It’s healing 🤣.

Cool buddy. Glad you got it sorted out. It's a nice feeling.

Finished installing a new Valley Plate assembly and new oil pressure gauge. Put everything back together and so far so good. My oil pressure is up about 5-10psi during idle and driving. So I know there was definitely a leak issue there.

Driving it around for the next couple of days and then will get it back on the lift to examine.
