I got the T'All started,and running GOOD,yesterday,and even had the brakes partially bled,and got "some pedal". https://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=https% ... HXqS3A&s=1 I went back out today,to finish bleeding the brakes,and give it a "test Run". It started,and about a minute later,developed a "squeal",About the time we pin-pointed the source,smoke and oil started spewing out between the rear of the pan,and bell housing,(crankcase Pressure). I shut it down Immediately,but I'm sure it spun a bearing and chewed the crank. I'll pull the(Travelall) shell this Spring. That'll give me more access for the chassis prep,brakes,and engine pull/possibly swap. This project is on Winter Hiatus.
