Syncro Adventurewagon Revival

Yeah, bummer about the timing, but on the positive side, you probably knew you were going to have to deal with the engine sat some point, and you have done a lot of the other needed work. Long term you still have a great adventure vehicle.

I may have been my own worst enemy.
I knew the main was leaking so when the oil light came on, I pulled over and dumped a quart in. I didn't realize that the light was oil pressure only.
It was fine untiI pulled a big hill and I assume all the extra oil dumped into the cylinders and flooded me out?
Either way. I drained a half quart out when i got home and after a few seconds the smoke stopped and it runs fine now.
After some research i discovered that the oil light may or may not have been accurate. I'm going to install a gauge and hope for the best.
And replace my main seal.
