I do think that the marks on the crank are only stains of oil illuminated by the camera flash.
I now attach a picture of the drain tube before I opened the rear main.
What I understand in Benson's words is that my drain tube may be too short and not bended enough.


Ernie, I have shims but I took picture without.


My first question was to know if the rear main thrust (first pictures) is correct or need to be changed.


Merci encore !

1. Total length of tube is 4 inches ( I measured one) and has a bend as shown in the link I posted in post #8 above. The tube has to be long enough to be below the level of the oil in pan to stop back pressure from blowing oil out the rear main.

2. I enlarged the last photo and maybe it is just the photo but it looks like drain tube is partially plugged. The bend looks good.
