Changed the oil and filter and dropped the pan. The oil smelled slightly of gas and looked like swamp mud. put in 4 quarts of castrol and started her up with my eyes closed and praying. opened my eyes and the pressure read 38. took her for a short spin and let it warm up. pressure went to 40 then back down to 38 and never moved off that mark again. think i got by without serious damage.
