The part where I give up

[FastFordsForever]

Pull the dist ,Put a drill on the oil pump drive and turn it a bunch after cleaning it first and it should show .

It's Schrodinger's Leak. Don't know if it's an obvious engine oil leak or not until you take it all apart or start the engine.

Take care. Tom Worthington

Jack front of car 8 ft in the air so that oil saturates all rear engine seals. Watch patiently directly underneath for any leaks....

Id refer back to the "pull the trans and find the leak, dumb ass" part of this thread.

I don't know why but this thread is starting to sound like the story of the $20/hr to work at McDonalds and the guy who said his brother used to come home with a shitty report card and when he showed it to his parents they would ask him if he wanted fries with that.

Fox, my friend. I'm hoping for the best for you but if you're not going to tear it down and have a looksie, I'd hold back your elation until the engine runs again and certifies you do or do not have a problem.

Im not allowed to let it run at this time. Next run needs to be on the road so i don't fuck up ring seat

Do they take generators on a drive to seat rings?

Goneracin seating the rings on my 638.......in less than 10 seconds.

Thank you.


Run the damn thing and see if you have a problem, before you fix a non-problem. Just don't let it sit idle forever.


K.I.S.S. keep it simple stupid.

I didn't realize this was a diesel.

 

[89 Fox 427]

What oil

Comp 10w30 break in oil

Might need to go a thinner oil to keep pressure down but we'll see once on the road
