Snake Oil!

OK, oil is changed after running another half pint through the a rear vacuum fitting. No metal in it (thank goodness) but lots of chunky carbon/sludge stuff and oil was black as night. PO said he had just changed the oil a 100 miles ago. I'll put another 20 miles on it and see what the oil looks like and if it improves. Ticking moved to the front of the engine again so there must be some crud cruising around. We'll see if this stuff breaks it up.

I figure at worst, I'll have a cleaner engine to break down come 3rd week of Jan. I took a week off to do whatever needs to be done. Might be easier to just pull the engine and get it on a stand, hone, rings, lifters, bearings etc.

Mope, 20 miles is all I'll put on it before changing the oil.

Leanna, we're not done yet, lol! I'll have a much better idea after I break the engine down.

Let's see what happens 340 Dart. Updates to come in the next few days.
