Re: For Bondo

goodnuss,<br /><br />I'm truly Sorry...............<br /><br />I did a little looking... As I stated before, I don't get to play with V-drives very often......<br />What I did find was that it appears that a V-drive Engine Should have a reversed base.... sump towards the stern, with an extended oilpump pick up tube running to the bottom of the sump.....<br /><br />If you still think the crank is slapping the sump oil, Run it a Qt. Low.... Is it Foaming ?? it should be visible on the dip stick Shortly after shut down, or even check it when running........<br /><br />I googled V-Drive,+ Not only found Mucho Parts, but a few personal websites with pic.s......<br /><br />Also, Venture over Here.... ,+ ask your questions at that forum.....<br />Granted, the Guys there Don't run a V-drive the way you do, But They'll have the answers to Your Questions.........<br />There are the Usual Know-It-Alls, But, There's Also some Very Serious Talent that frequents that forum..........<br /> <br />Again,... I'm Sorry..... I didn't mean to leave you hanging.......<br /><br />See your other thread too, I'm going to continue over there....
