[Healeys] oil leak

[Dave Porter]

Another thought.. if the fuel pump was left on during the trip, it's
possible that the oil could be sufficiently thinned to easily leak past the
seal and could explode if it is the case... does the "clean" oil smell of
petrol?

Hi Wayne,

I think that Dave could be correct  regarding the Container the  
Healey was shipped in could have been dropped .... it Happens .

I work on the Vancouver docks and have seen Containers  drop when a  
Crane, Dock Gantry , Top Pick, TRG ,  has had a problem when loading  
or unloading a Container.

If the crank was bent I think you could feel it when the car is  
driven ???

I'd bet the damage happened when the car was driven into the  
container.....

Cheers
