Whhooooooooo!!!! M820 LIVES!!! - YouTube Big thanks to rwbrown71, setoyota and willwagner! Just for future reference, I followed this post to get the valves and injectors set right. Specifically, followed what willwagner posted and relayed via a phone call. Will, you are the man! :beer: EOF

More than likely it went right by the rings and into the oil. I'm about 99% sure this is what happened since there were an extra 5 gallons of something in the oil when I drained it. It was about as thin as water and smelled exactly like diesel. The poor thing was leaking "oil" from every seal...

Augiedoggy, thanks for the link. Sounds really close to the problem. In about 20 minutes of running I had a lot of fuel in the oil too.

I don't remember seeing it move.

I came down to visit the m820. We spent some time checking things over and after replacing the batteries got her started. There is a definite miss on idle and she smokes like mad at idle and through the rpm range. I even get some sparks and a bit of flame from the exhaust. Anyone have any...
