Yeah, thatıs all sorts of not good! :)
I would seriously change your oil ASAP. I would even go so far as buy a
case of oil and run a few quarts through just to flush things out. Just
change the oil like normal, run it for a day, then change it again.
I don't know if theres an exact procedure for it, but I would think if you
disconnected your coil and cranked it over a few times you could get the
remaining oil out of the block once you've drained the oil from the pan.
Has anyone done this.....Bernd???? :)
