So how did you detect the first failure with the new motor ? Sounds ? Peel the filter and found frags ?
The pan was seeping oil around the rear main, so we dropped it and found crud in the bottom of the pan. Dropped one main and seen the carnage, so we dropped the rest and thought, this ain't good.
