he's probably right. you were just asking for it driving around low on oil. On the bright side, D16 blocks are cheap...

congrats bro... your the winner of a new slightly used motor ... better start calling the junk yards... be aware of the guys on ebay that have the 30k motors I have found that most of them are just rebuilt and sold as 30k motors.
