I just got off the phone with Ed at Campbell. I definitely hydro-locked the engine. And their initial thoughts about the water pump being restricted water due to plumbing seems to be the culprit. It makes sense and I hope it’s the solution. I don’t mind replacing impellers – once a year.

The oil coming out of the dipstick also seems to be from the fact the engine isn’t breathing. I’m no mechanic so this is a little out of my league, but it makes sense. Adding breathers and some hosing to the valve covers is what they’re quoting for me now.

They’re working on her. Putting her back together, better, faster, stronger.
