[QUOTE="Zberry1985, post: 474377, member: 25580"] well i got the motor apart but didn't find a hole. starting to wonder if it was a gasket leak and the previous owner just thought there was a hole. the good news is the pistons and everything look to be in great shape, i'd guess this motor has fairly low hours for it's age. i ordered a gasket kit and going to try and put it back together but am wondering what type of gasket sealant should i use? the manual says i should use permatex on the crankcase cover but there are a million options for permatex?
