Story time: My grandfather was a well known moonshiner, back in the day, had some problems, when he lived over in PG county, seems the indigenous personnel kept stealing his product, before he could get it marketed. Now, ole doc Lancaster was a good friend, he suggested that croton oil was the solution to the problem, he gave him a pint bottle of it. Now the dose of this particular brown fountain inducin medicine, for an adult male is half a drop! How do you get half a drop? Put a drop in a glass full of water, and drink half. Oh well, that didn't matter much, cause grampa Joe didn't believe most doctors, anyway, so he put half a pint in a gallon of whiskey (he didn't make shine, he made whiskey), and made a big deal of hiding it, somewhere where the IP's could see him doin it. He went down the hill, as usual, only he waited for a little while, and they came running down the hill ( in more ways than one!). There was about a half a dozen, all in the same condition, they flagged down some unfortunate individual, to take them to the hospital, and the effluent that ended up in that car, made the owner sell it for scrap, or so the story goes. The important thing to remember here is that Croton oil is an old medicine still used today. AKA Phenolphthalein, the active ingredient in a lot of laxatives, and as a laboratory indicator dye, where it is used in higher concentrations than in today's laxatives. Just thought this info might come in handy, y'all be good, now!

This would make the whole engine rebuild job much easier-and much less expensive! I soon found however, that the #4 conrod bearing had disintegrated, taking with it chunks of the crankshaft journal.
