Re: Massive Oil Leak - HELP!

[James <james.carpenter@ukaea.org.uk>]

I had somthing like that happen on the old spitfire engin,
I found it to a cylinder, pison oil rings, problem. 
Don't know what, I got a short engin for 30 quid, and havent
looked back.  On my car the symptoms were a trail of smoke, 
as dence as a decent fog, no oil, running rough, and
oil beaing blown out the dip stick all over the engin. 

So I loosened the sparkplugs, and turned it over, the plugs
all wiggled except for cylider two.  When I got the head off, 
I found that half the piston was missing, but with no evedence
of any thing else beaind damaged, the cylinder walls looked fine
for an engin of that milage.
