seems like it...

dropped a seal... fuel supply.. ran low on gas.. gauge is reading high... plus a few other things... now I have a good chance to fix a few things to make it better...

sucks but what can you do

I think the engine was a dodgy build to begin with...

thanks... helps to have access to good equipment that Ive picked up cheap over the years and kept when I sold my repair franchise/shop..

So I will probably have KevinBTZ (my tuner) port and rebuild the engine.. but wont know what its like till I finish tearing it down.. got to the flywheel nut last night and stopped.. have to grab my buddies socket after work then I can actually break apart the keg
