It has a little leak...

[hatidua]

I woke up one morning in Baja, turned over in my sleeping bag to see a lake of 10w-30 under the engine of my 1978 Scout-II....granted, that's back in the days when we actually carried enough spare parts along to solve any problem, and Mexican mechanics can MacGyver just about anything into running.

At least it's not a Harley. When an H-D stops leaking, shut the engine off because you're out of fluids.

If its anything like my car, it could go a while like that.


Just kidding, but I do have something like 7.5qts of oil for a 3.0L 6-banger. Think they just want to up the price of their synthetic oil changes.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that stuff supposed to remain inside the engine somewhere? r is that a new gravitational fountain feature?

If you miss that Scout II do I have a deal for you...

Your engine was one of the cleanest inside I have seen. You are clearly staying on top of those high dollar oil changes. Looked brand new inside.

I remember seeing a thread on a motorcycle forum about 10 years ago where a guy repaired a broken cylinder with jb weld and rode the bike 100 miles home on it.

Looked more like a combat video clip than a mechanics!



It was merely lifting its leg to express dominance over you.

We drove a wooden wedge in a transmission pan after it got punched on a rock. Drove it back from Winter Park, swapped the pan and we were back up there the next day.

Total loss oiling system, kind of like the speedway bikes used to use...

Yeah... Running additional HP over stock, I don't want to stick to the factory 15K per change. I do it about twice as often, sometimes a little more often than than. The Methanol injection helps to clean it too.
