sh1t looks like you have a lot of rubber to find?

Don't look good 

Does it look old? Wonder if it has been a cheap replacement part that uses rubber, I have bough several gaskets and none of them were tin/rubber composite

I've checked up into the block etc. I don't see any more in there. As there was new instant gasket round the sump, I called the guy my dad bought it off (last saturday in Derby, long day there & back) He said they had no problems. I suspect this has been ongoing for a while but he didn't want to tell me.
Wonder if that's why they sold it.
We'll probably run it for a while then drop the sump to see if any more has been washed down.
Glad we found the problem though

It looks fairly new. This engine was rebiult in 2004. There are lots of receipts for lots of bits, a valley gasket being one of them - ?17

Well done. did you notice any rubber in the old oil? looks like you have some to find but at least you have found and solved the problem.

I don't think there is more to find. I think this has been going on for a while and the sump has been off more than once to get bits out.

i'm not familiar with the v8 engines but could you put an airline down the oilways from the top towards the sump?

All back together again
