[Shotimes] I hope my bearings are right!

[Mike Murphy]

Marlene,

I have seen many SHOs will many miles less than yours with poor rod 
bearings.

I would recommend getting them changed.  For the price it costs its worth 
the piece of mind.

A buddy of mine just changed his at 186k miles and the bearings had divots 
in them and were could have spun at any time.

Pretty much every SHO on the road right now needs to get their rod bearings 
changed.

If a bearing spins the motor is done or will need a rebuild.

Robert K..,
On the subject of the reliability of rod bearings........and longivity:
Snowwind has no bearing issues other than probably pretty worn, I have yet 
to open him up....and we don't want to do that just for curiousity now do 
we?
Trick:
Dedicated 3K interval changes of oil
Checking Dip Stick before inserting ignition key.
We can discuss and do frequently on the subject of oil preference......My 
choice is, frankly, my choice....
Whatever others may choose, I use  Valvoline 5W30 All Climate on the higher 
mileage 1990,,,,and Valvoline Maxlife 5W30 or 10W30 on the 1991 that has 
216K.
