[FC] 140 Rampside

[Paul Steinberg]

Parts prices are going through the roof!!! Last month a guy had a set of NOS
wire wheel covers on there for $10,000 and was throwing in the family dog in
the deal.  I heard that he would substitute the wife for the dog and take a
mark down on the parts price....  Paul in CT

  OK guys, "stupid is as stupid does". My oil spray mystery seems to be
solved.
  Someone, ME, cause I am the only person to touch this engine  didn't seat
the
  pcv tube in the mating tube coming from the cranckcase properly, so when I
  jumped on the gas there was enough pressure to blow oil past the o ring. As
  far as the steam I think there was something besides the oil in it. After
  looking at what blew into the air cleaner, it seemed to float on the oil.
  Could have been water, but can't imagine how it got in there. Changed the
oil
  and filter and now no more steam. Hope this was the extent of my problem.
   By the way, has anybody seen or going to bid on the $750.00 oil cooler on
  E-Bay?

  Thanks for listening, Mike Emanuele
