Well I think one of the major reasons the motor went is that they installed the apex springs in upside down. This caused the apex seal to chatter and roll inside the rotor. Also keeps the corner seals at the bottom of the rotor etc flapping around etc.
Not to mention one apex seal spring was not even installed.

Oil seals were worn beyond limit. Apex seal springs were worn.

You two are the reason why the provincial govt has put a surcharge on OHIP. I don't want to pay your f'n chronic medical bills. People like you should be banned from free health care. Just like smokers and addicts of McDonalds.

You should be banned from this forum! And dude I pay my share of taxes so I believe I am entitled to it (And I don't smoke or eat McD's)

Mr. Cake and I helped Tyson do a redneck engine pull on the weekend. A pole from a floor jack and a chain were used. The engine was rolled into a Pontiac G6's truck, as it was not really the right size for the engine.

It wasn't as much fun as Mr. Cake and I bringing an engine down the stairs to his basement on a toboggan.
