96 gtx oil in cylinders

[dave skoczynski]

had oil in cylinders so ordered crank seals and tore the engine apart only to find pto piston has a hole in it,do i just need a new top end or are the seals really out, they appear fine and bottom end is super clean,dont want to pay to have crank done if i dont need too! any advice? thanks in advance for your help dave

if you got the machinery/specs to rip apart the crank, to replace the seals..go for it. Dont think though, the hole is causing the oiled cylinders...you can get a complete crank assy w/pistons, gaskets..etc, from ebay (playtime powersports) for 400 buks, w/50 buks in shippping..?
