Is there a way to drain a crank case?
Pull the cam cover, it will drain all except a few oz in the actual crank area. Take # 25 off, disable ignition , turn engine over with starter, the oil will spray out, clamp off the oil feed line from the oil tank first. Be careful when you put the plug back in it cross threads easy. Colony makes an Acorn nut to replace the stock nut.
Why is oil draining out of my crank case?
In the past it has always cleared itself by dumping out (all over the engine) through the crankcase vent, but this time there is enough oil in the crank case that the starter cannot turn the motor to fire up. Any suggestions short of pulling the motor, removing the jugs and turning it upside down? Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.

Can a high crankcase pressure cause an oil leak?
