[SEL] New Way engine

[Arnie Fero]

Hi Chester,

This is a wild shot...  If you don't get any positive suggestions as to
where the hole might be, it's just possible that a Magnaflux technique
might work.  I'd recommend looking the process up on the web, but I think
basically you turn your crankcase into an electromagnet and dust it with
iron filings.  Normally used to find cracks, but it should also work to
find a plastic-filled small hole.  Good luck.  If it works, post the
"success story."  If it doesn't, forget I ever said anything.  8-))

See ya,  Arnie
