Euan Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Hi there, I am just curious to know what happens when an engine passes it useful life? i.e When they have X amount of gallons through them. How do you know when it is about to happen? What are the symptoms? Euan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesChatz Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 When it loses its compression its time for a new P&L. One way to tell is to take the pull start, and pull it up and see if you can lift the car off the ground without the pullstart fully extending. Also if its really easy to pull, and you can turn the flywheel over by hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
