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? |
