I believe NO is the answer. Check engine over, maybe a hole in block somewhere, KT17's bad reputation. I had one ran great on one side, other side blown and hole in block. Drove off the trailer, and later found NO oil in it. Was miracle it got off trailer. Seems like you have to remove big front shroud and side tins even to just reach a bolt or so?? Course, others find ways to do odd things against the norm, maybe that will be your chance, ha!
