A cheap fix will not solve this problem, unless somebody else around here has a quick and dirty solution, you may have to open up the timing cover and do the fix. Even if we knew the details, the answer is probably the same. 'Curly' =============== |

Next time, it might be work trying Auto-RX. I have not personally used it,
but have talked with many who have. It apparently works wonders. It cleans and conditions seals as well as the rest of the engine. And pretty reasonably priced.
