I'm Awesome
Well the Beast has been dumping oil out of the front seal, but it has been slow till recently. It got to the point where it would start to rattle and the oil pressure would drop and I would stop and dump in two quarts of oil and drive away. Since I have been busier than a one armed paper hanger lately that is all I have had time for. Friday it started to rattle and I dumped in two quarts - the rattle went away. I drove it a couple of miles and it started rattling again Dumped in two more quarts and drive it home and went down and picked up a new seal.
When I opened the drain plug it dumped out 9 quarts of oil. OOps. Well I pulled the oil pan and pulled the pump It was shot - rattled like a mother. Called the local parts houses and no one had one. (One of the perks of living in Podunk hollar) Ordered it from Autozone and it didn't come in. finally had to go out of town to get it.
Stuck all the parts together and fired her up. Oil pressure 55 at idle. No rattles. No drips. I do need to replace the exhaust flange donuts but I was hurting so bad when I got it running i really didn't care. I can do that blindfolded when I am not hurting so bad.
