wood splitter oil is silver

[thriftytoolrental]

I have a wood splitter that was over filled with oil. I drained it and put new oil in it. I ran it for a while until it was no longer blowing white smoke. It will only start with ether and the choke has to be on for it to run. But it has no power and when i checked the oil again it is a milky silver color. Not sure if this means the engine is shot or if I can fix it. looking for advice.

Observe a moment of silence for the engine.
Now measure it up and go get a new engine

Try and get one with a cast iron sleeve

Time of death…..whenever you ran it last.

Flush the oil put in new and see what happens. But if it’s silver sparkly’s that means metal aluminum or steel coming from somewhere

Rode hard and put away wet. The jug is wallowed out, the piston is prolly egg shaped, and the rings are the only thing keeping it from making a hell of a racket.

GIve it a good burial.
