i want too know how long you practice, with end results. from stock to your highy modified motor

 

I change the oil every 5,000 miles (using the factory recommended weight based on the season).

Check fluids every week or before long trips.

Mix 4 ounces of 2-stroke oil per fillup.

Watch gauges carefully and listen for strange noises while driving.

This has allowed me many years of Rotoring and will probably do the same for you.

I had 199,xxx original miles on the '86 when the coolant seals went. (It still makes 100+ psi compression front and rear.)

I will say that coolant changes are not a very brilliant idea, I tried that on my '86 and the coolant seals gave out about 2,000 miles later.

 

dnt worry about me. get off tha nuts. get it?

 

um, oil change whenever it gets dirty enough. Gas, lots of it. Thats about it.

 

I change that black stuff in my engine every so often, but sometimes I forget and it goes for a while, usually try to switch at 30k intervals lol

 

Yeah, I'm pretty fussy with my FC. I do an oil/filter change every 5000k, a coolant change every 10000k. I try to give my filter a clean and oil roughly every 3 months. I just removed my omp so I'm now premixing every time I fill up. But yeah if I'm going to thrash my car i normallly check the fluid levels before and after when it has cooled down a little. I also change my brake fluid every 2 years.

 

i'm a maitenance freak. this applies to both my SA and FB's and my FC's i change the engine oil in my 7's before 3000 miles. that usually pans out to once a year at the beginning of the summer. i change the trans and diff oil every three years or 10,000 miles. i completely bleed the brakes and clutch hydraulics once every two years. i change the coolant once every two years and flush at that time. i clean my air filter (k&n) every year. i replace the belts and hoses as needed, but inspect weekly, i inspect the plugs monthly and replace them, the cap and rotor every three years, with wire changes as needed. the fuel filter gets changed every two to three years. i inspect the lights regularly along with the suspension components. this happens usually whenever the car is up in the air for any reason. i am inspecting the engine bay and the components and hoses and vacuum lines on a very regular basis. hope this helps. if you have any questions feel free to ask.

 

I follow the schedule in the FSM. *shrug*
