[QUOTE="basstrix, post: 404044, member: 3574"] Something that happens with an engine that's been sitting for a long time is, as hemikiller noted...the valve stem seals dry out, crack, and fall off.... You can often find bits and pieces in the oil drainback holes in the heads....unfortunately, there may be a bunch of them already down in the pan and pulled into the oil pump pickup. Let's hope your mechanical gauge test has good results! [/QUOTE]
