OK Guys, I have installed new fuel pump, completly rebuilt carb and changed the oil and filter. I measured the oil and gas mixture in the drain pan today--had 8 quarts of fluid cant hardly beleive it! 5 quarts of oil and 3 quarts of fuel. Now for the good news! The lifters chattered a little at start up, she was still puffing a little smoke. After a few minutes of running at an idle, no smoke and no lifter noise. Its running beautiful and not a knock, ping, nothing!! I was so stressed about the bearings in the motor being bad! I got lucky on this one. Thanks to all of you who posted with your experience and knowledge I was able to sleep the past few nights, not well but did sleep. I wanted to give everyone the good news tonight, but most of all THANK YOU!!!!!! Charlie, 427King, Paul, Rick, Bruce, Jason and Mike. You guys Rock! God bless! Travis
