YUCK! Ok, who cleaned up that mess? Just how much degreasing did you have to
do?
I feel for you. I truly do.

wateroutlet with 3. stud length for alternator
Allen,
I can answer number 1 because I accidentally started my U20 without a
dipstick in
it the other night. You can't leave that hole open. Even if you have to go
get a
dipstick kit and cut it off short, put something in that hole. You would
not
believe how much oil that engine can blow out of that hole.
