Well we found three minor problems - wrong seals on bottom of oil cooler, no
gaskets on the oil filler neck and no gaskets and deflector plate installed
wrong on bottom of generator stand. We reinstalled everything and fired it
up, but Dan found a real drip on one of the case bolts. The more we ran the
motor the more obvious that, that was the real problem.
Sooooooooo, we split the case and are basically rebuilding the engine.
Didn't find anything too ugly inside and the gang talked me into a 110 cam.
We did confirm that Sparky has 94 pistons and a stock crank = 1914.
Hopefully, we will have it back together next weekend.
Thanks again,
Ronnie
Did y'all determine what was causin' the oil leak?

Thanks to Mark S., Mark J. and Dan on the engine work today.
And to our helpers Emily & Katrina for going and getting lunch.
It's nice working in a garage that is set-up for working and not just for parking cars in it.
See you later,
Ronnie
