[AT] OT - Log splitter engine - fixed

[Mike M]

I checked everything I could and finally noticed that when the splitter
was attached to the ball hitch on my butt buggy, the front was angled
about 6" lower than level. I disconnected from the butt buggy and put it
on its stand so it was level, problem solved. Still curious how the oil
got from crankcase to above the piston. The only thing I can think of is
rings or valves.

Regards,
Mike M
