Re: Another one bits the dust! I couldn't tell you how many hrs the hrs don't go up on it I'd say somewhere about 100 or so
I built the motor with care oiled everything up soaked it before putting it in. The first one that did it was a stock motor that never been touched

Re: Another one bits the dust! That sucks. How long would it have run like that if u wouldn't have decided to change the case gasket when u did?
