TJP, it just started happening today, Im going to drop the pan tomorrow and take care of business. The motor runs really well and theres no point in sacrificing it. What I meant in the earlier post was that the price was so cheap I didnt grill the dude about specifics, and the truck is worth more with no engine at all than the price he sold it for. Doesnt mean I dont care about this engine, it would be a waste to be reckless with it and lose it
