Welcome,
Great price!!!
check the oil pan to see if it is dented (even a small amaount)...Mabey the U-Boat Skipper was Hi-centering it through the ruts and mud$$$
I had my second VX engine toast the crank berrings (the rod berrrings were still good) because the pan had a "small" dent in it...the oil pick-up is like 1/4" off the bottom of the pan!!!! just a small dent and now shes starvin for oil!!!![]()
