It was their learned opinion that the seals were blown due to excessive blow-by creating too much pressure in the crankcase. So, they (Vaught and Son Garage) said that the seals may or may not hold. I had them adjust the valves while they were in there. I asked when it was time for a new engine (ouch...) and they said "If the seals blow-out again". Any thoughts from the teaming masses?
Matthew Matthew PS. to you people with the wussy-compression gas-burners, just remember that my exhaust system is cheap, and my dipstick is straight. p.s. it was $30/hr for 5 hours + parts. ppss I just got my recycled-inc catalog and wasted 2 hours reading it. Way fun. (810)373-2300
