Spridgeteers,
Well, the oil pressure on my 1275 is now dropping to 15 psi at idle when
warm, maybe lower, plus I'm hearing a few tapping noises I didn't hear
before spending the whole day at Road Atlanta (that story is on it's way).
I assume that it is rebuild time. What are the options? A complete rebuild?
Just do the big end bearings? Something in between? A rebuilt long block
from Minimania is $2k on sale this month; my local rebuilder says his
complete reduild will be $1-3K depending on what he finds once he tears
into it. This is a daily driver, so I don't have the luxury of doing it all
myself, and I really don't have the time (Spring is the crazy season in the
lab).
Any thoughts on procedure options and/or pricing?
Thanks,
Jeff
