[QUOTE="Big Sid, post: 36549, member: 2781"] From the looks of the inner case walls , the liner and the flywheels the engine had been run for God knows how long without an oil change or much attention . Everything blackened with burnt oil and ancient deposits . Regular oil changes dont leave deposits like this to build up . Such treatment may easily have led to lubrication failure , pump seizure , big end destruction , all manner of internal deteriation leading to the massive failure . No way to lay it on the poor piston or abused can rod . It looks to have been run into the ground through neglect . Who does this ? No sane person who understands motors . The owner was to blame , not this abused motor for its fate . Sid . [/QUOTE]
