Medium body pvs on the seal and close. Problem should be solved. ;) Otherwise use the suggestion above. Maybe get someone to put a hose to it while you're below to see where it's coming from?
Sounds like you wiped out a bearing. Gonna need to pull it, put on a stand, invert it, get the main/rod caps off and get a look at the bearings and journals. I'm not sure where the oil galleries are on that motor but you will defintiely need to tear it down and re-bearing it and clean out the...
Seems to me it would be like those cars they salvaged from Louisiana after Katrina and tried to sell. Full o' problems. I think you should take a pass unless it's SO cheap that you could refit everything and still be ahead. Just my $0.02.

Use a 3 hybrid. :grin:
I see this cavalier attitude in a lot of kids nowadays and it's disturbing. I know it's a cliche to think that 'these kids these days are out of control' but this is getting ridiculous. These snots need a serious attitude adjustment and I sure hope that whomever...
