Also sounds like the motor was overfilled with oil if you got a quart out from the alternator cover. Once these engines are apart you will notice that is a windage tray under each crank throw. These little shields keep oil from hitting the crank.That contact create a ton of friction. If overfilled its possible there the crank could have been running in oil. The windage tray is old racing trick that could gain you up to 10 hp in V-8. When I pull my cover I usually only get a few tablespoons of oil. Anybody else?
