Ugh... I hate that feeling when the bolt head starts to give way before the stud starts to come loose. Felt it way too many times myself...
I'll see if I can find the oil pump part number my engine builder uses. He does a ton of 602 and 604 crate engines for the roundy round guys so he knows these short blocks inside and out. I think it was one step up from the stock oil pump that came in them, but not the "high volume" pump so many people put in just because...
What heads are on your engine? Should be an engraving on the front surface of them to identify, or just a part number.
Also, look up my crankcase ventilation thread here and get yourself a MightyMouse catch can kit for when you put it back together. This alone may stop your oil loosing issues.
