All
Thanks for the comments.
The reason for the question is that all my tools are up in Pennsylvania and I now live down here in Texas. My garage is all jammed up with crap anyway...didn't want to leave a motor on a stand in my driveway. Our HOA would have a seizure!
I'll start with a compression test. If that's good I'll probably drop the pan and unbolt the caps to see if any bearings are toast. If any journals are bad the motor will be removed.
...or maybe I can fix the cranksaft with my Dremel tool...just kidding.
Any other suggestions for troubleshooting?
Thanks in advance,
Love this forum!
