Hi guys,
Just to let you know I am heart broken as my rebuilt 2056 with only 6,000 miles seized last week. Apparently, I ran it low on oil. Now, I'm not the most mechanically inclined but I changed the oil in July after after putting 3,000 annual miles on it. Since it was a new motor I didn't think I needed to check the oil every couple of weeks like my mechanic told me. How often should you check the oil level with a new motor? And do you think it's going to need a full rebuild again? |

Oof that sucks.
Honestly, I check my 914's oil level each time I use it. What were you doing at the time? Idling or cruising down the highway? Did the oil light come on? For reference, last year I forgot to open the dry sump valve on my 2056 racer and as I was idling away it seized. It had seized at the nose bearing, fortunately it did not spin, as I did not have much load on it. I asked to have to have it fully with new bearings all around. https://tgadrivel.blogspot.com/2024/09/an-i...sportation.html |
