Filled the block up with oil and tipped it back to test the rear main the pan gasket. It looks sketchy in the pic, but don't worry, it wasn't going anywhere. I was feeling confident so of course it leaked like a sieve! I thought it was the arch on the back of the pan, but that looks to be sealing ok. Looks like the rear corners of the pan gasket are the culprit. Rear main shows no signs of leaking at the moment.

The Ultra Grey I used on the corners did not adhere to the block at all and might be reason why it leaked so bad. I cleaned the block rails pretty well with brake cleaner before installing and it's been sitting for 4 or 5 days now, not sure why it didn't stick. There wasn't a problem using it to stick the crank scraper down. It glued it self to the gasket pretty well though. Back to the drawing board I guess.
