Budman II

OK, hooked up a gauge to it, and I was seeing 66 PSI with the drill. That reading was taken from the top port behind the intake manifold. Starting to think I am hearing air getting sucked back into the oil gallery through the front plugs when the oil bleeds back down. I did notice that the oil coming out of the rockers is not crystal clear - kind of has a slight foaminess about it - not large bubbles or anything, just looks slightly "whipped".

The real strange sound is going to be of the starter engaging with the flywheel. ie: starting the engine. LOL.

What's that ?
