MackAtak GuddayM8 I've never ever had a set up like the swan neck I have only seen m bein used the Tail gate is called a 2 way it will swing like a barn door or tilt out @ the bottom just by removeing/replacing pin @ hinges the swan neck I did C twaz on a sub frome th@ slipt into tippr body n twas held in there by the truck rear tow hook jiggr they lift the body to raise the swan neck then lower landin legs then lower the body till no weight on body to slide the subframe from the tippr body etc or just wind down the landin legs on trailer the advantage of this set up it duz not take weight from the front axle like a tag trailer would Cya §wishy

Not sure of the 4 strokers But for the screemin 2 stokers diesel can enter the oil mainly from cracked injector pipe or loose nut on tube under the roker cover May B if U remove the roker cover n start er up have a looksee n give it a few revs n look for diesel washing the oil away Caution oil can B thrown round a bit with out roker cover Jist my 2 cents worth from the udder side of the world LOL cya §wishy
