Thanks guys on the oil filler tube and dip stick orientation. Yes thats what I have, Just not used to these big blocks yet.
Update. The engine is out on the floor. I pulled the head and when replacing the head bolts I dropped one of the washers down into the flywheel area. So I pulled the motor off and removed the screen and fished out the washer.
Another question:
The engine was setting on a slant resting on the sump and leaning towards the PTO . This morning there was a puddle of oil on the floor that looks like it came from the front crank seal area? Should that be a leak path with the engine tipped that direction? Also I think the engine was over filled above the dip stick line.
Some good news: The piston is stamped STD and had a good looking smooth cylinder wall and no piston slop. The valves and seats look good. Maybe this thing will run?
Also got the hydro linkage working again with lots of blaster.
Electric lift had water in it?? Not sure that is going to be salvaged?
Pictures coming of the red machine.
Goal: Get it running and moving on its own, and try to keep the input cost to a minimum
Regards,
Chris
