What was it said a few months ago on a thread like this? "It's not time to
overhaul an engine until you can read the serial numbers on the metal found in the oil screen" Seriously though, if it's a 32 year old engine at 2800 hours making metal, it's a non-too-subtle statement that it's time. -Cory -- ************************************************** *********************** * The prime directive of Linux: * * - learn what you don't know, * * - teach what you do. * * (Just my 20 USm$) * ************************************************** *********************** |

I have a 1972 Volkswagon with a Volkswagon engine and it runs beautifully.
The engine is "original" and the speedo shows 280,000 miles (total time 2800 hours times 100 miles per hour). The engine had a thorough top overhaul quite a few years ago, maybe around 150,000 miles (new pistons etc) and has no problems with compression, oil consumption, vibration or indeed anything at all. It is well looked after and has won many quarter mile drag races, at least one a week! Now the but..... At its last annual (Christmas) some metal particles were found in the oil filter. Any advice / comments greatly appreciated. "Believe it or not?" ;) Peter |
