An old timer told me when I was a kid that "It'll stay in the pan and not hurt anything". What do the rest of the Club members think about that? Edd

hi i was just reading the posts..if the mounts are bad..why not just pull the engine and buy a gasket set (probally needs it anyway since the old dried up gaskets are bound to leak)..that way you can inspect the engine bearings for wear see how tight the rings are and look at the ridge to see if its worth trying to run the way it is.. clean it up and when it goes back together it will be good to go..no more guessing..plus stuff a new front seal in the tranny.. but im the kind that likes to be sure what im doing before i do it..and dont mind the extra work for the security of knowing what i have under the hood
