        I did something similiar the first time my valves started ticking.
I put in extra oil because the reading was low when I checked - what I didn't
realize was I was on a slight hill with the butt end of the van up. I had a
new oil leak after driving around for a few minutes (looked real neat when
I went to adjust the timing). I just pulled the crank pulley and found the
main seal in two pieces...
