quote FrankR:
Fact is, I just don’t know the answer to your drain question without have both in hand. But I wonder–did either or both of the powerheads have a Woodruff key slot in the lower crankshaft main journal? If it did, that is an oil pump to pump the settled oil up to the top journal for lubrication. Might, maybe get rid of enough puddle drainage as it did so.
Frank, I’m not finding a photo with the lower main crank bearing cap "off", but
from what I can tell in this photo, and from what I remember seeing, I’d
have to say "no" to a key slot in the lower crank main journal, but I have
the cap off the other two yet, so will look again.
Thanks.
