I dropped my engine over the past week to fix misc oil leaks....oil cooler, front main seal, and the pushrod tubes. All leaked looked fixed but i accidentally overfilled oil by one quart. (drained oil while on ramps, and then refilled with 4 quarts) So i believe that there was one quart still i there when i refilled it 4 quarts on oil change. The dipstick measured 1 quart overfilled when checked.
I only ran it 5 minutes on ramps to get it up to temperature to make sure everything was allright then shut off. The front main seal (looks like from the leak up front dripping from front of fan shroud) like it is leaking. It has a brand new front main seal, IS it TRASHED now? Of am i just seeing the left over oil from the initial overfill thats still in the fan shrould? It now measures EXACTLY right below top notch on dipstick, maybe a hair below.... It leaks still front front of engine, not as fast, but drips a lot. |

The "O" ring the Cap'n mentioned is often overlooked I have taken apart many engines that are missing that "O" ring
