Should I drain the oil from the engine when I install it because of the extreme angle I have to put it at when getting it into the engine compartment. I was worried about all that oil hanging out in the back of the engine and maybe seeping out through the rear flange. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 1,636 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 1,636 | If it leaks then it will leak when it is running. If it is properly sealed then you shouldn't leak any oil. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2011 Posts: 257 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2011 Posts: 257 | I'll leave it in then, thanks | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | I believe the flywheel bolts are wet on that engine. If the flywheel is not on the oil will run out the bolt holes.
