suddenly too rich
matzilla:
my curiosity was related to whether it would hold the vacuum if the crank was turning in the seals.
maddoggy:
turning the crank should make no difference in a leakdown test unless the sealing surface on the crank is in bad shape or grooved.
tschisi:
I have got the same problem, but so bad that there is no way to start the engine.
Have a look at this:

Do you think the oil on the piston looks like a crank seal problem?
Arrgh.
Please save my day and say something like: "Replacing the seal takes about 5 minutes and the cases don?t have to be split."
tschisi:
Have to write again.
I had my top-end removed and my crank seals are ok.
My head gasket was leaky so i had water in the crankcase, but it was clear and free of oil.
But the engine won?t start, checked everything.
:? :? :?

Hey T,
There are five pages of troubleshooting (1st pg.)

Is there anything else that changed other than doing a top end?
