Exactly the sentiments i have read from Ol Ron.

I should pile on here, with a tale from the past. I refreshed an OT van motor with a valve job, tow package cam, and a high volume oil pump. It ran great, the guy I sold it to was very pleased. That is until one day. while hauling his daily load down the highway, it spit out the rear main seal.
