Rick-
This is enough oil to be concerned about. When I pop of the radiator
cap after running it, all I see is brown. I took a rag, dipped it in and
soaked up all that I could. After starting and running, again the same
thing. I want to flush the system, but won't be able to get back to it for
a couple weeks as it is being stored until I can get some time off to work
on it.
Just a note-the oil is a dark brown color. I don't know if this is from
being contaminated from the antifreeze or what. The oil in the crankcase is
non detergent and is clean.
Thanks
Nathan
