Re: billowing white smoke
Probably not the crankcase because the bits can't get under the bearings. Might have chewed the bearings though.

Re: billowing white smoke
In order for the bits to hurt the bearings, they have to get into the crankcase 1st. No evidence of this.
Take care,

Re: billowing white smoke
Well, your probably right in that I doubt, too, there is real bottom end damage. But I would change the oil right away to clear any small bits that might be chewing the bearings if left in. I don't trust oil filters all that much. Anything that can get by the ring gaps might not get caught.

I feel ya. My engine is in the basement all apart. I can't seem to generate the motivation or the cash to overhaul it yet AGAIN.chachi wrote:well, this engine won't be doing anything but sitting for awhile, but, yeah, definitely an oil change is in order. serious bummer, but at least it wasn't me f**king up the rings.
