> Well murph lifes a bitch then u die.The name calling wasn't directed
toward you.... per say, really its just you. I don't like you. And your
saying stuff like the motor is gone after a spun bearing,thats bullshit and
you know better.ITS an ENGINE not a motor.At worst the crank should be
turned.And talking about SHO-SHO your full of ka-ka.The reason Tommy didn't
sell to you was he didn't trust you,he knew you would abuse the car.DAMN
sure wasn't cold feet.He just found a better buyer.

calling.You go do your thing and I'll go do mine.On rod bearings....if you
do the math.  How many revoltions does that 283 top out at?If you think
about the SHO and if its been driven like it was design to the motor/crank
turns many more times than that of a V8 in its normal life.   Thus much more
wear on the bearings.I really hope that you don't ever spin one....your
white SHO is a nice car that I even tried to buy from the previous owner
before you but at the time he got cold feet on selling.MurphFrom: "Kenneth"

usually bye bye motor.If you are like me and like to run it up to 7k.....its
good to err on theside of caution.MurphThats wrong and it sounds
retarded.Usuallys are like mites they collect on birds a!
> sses.I've had several "Engines"that were abused I mean abused,redline
almost every shift,hot rodding smoking the tires around every corner.Even
ran with little or no oil because we had no money,spent it all on beer.A '67
283 was the engine in question,took it apart 4 different times,sang the same
old tune.Spun a bearing,dropped the pan changed out the bearings.Back to
redline shifts again within the next weekend.And thats only one story of
abuse of a engine and spun bearings.I still have the engine and its in the
original truck my dad bought new in '67.Over 400k and still running.And
murph....not everyone shifts at 7k like you.There are a bunch of us out here
that don't redline every shift.  --- On Tue 08/10, Mike Murphy  wrote:From:

I hope my bearings are right!Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2004 15:28:53 -0400That's a
bit severe. Granted, if you buy a used SHO and don't know thehistory, it may
need them. My "questionable history" '95 with 86K milestrashed the bearings,
but the '89 that I owned since new is still fine after200K+ miles with the
new owner. My current '94 with 186K miles that had twoprevious SHO
enthusiast owners also is fine (no odd noises).But, if I bought a used SHO,
I would consider it. The best time to do themis if you are removing the
Y-pipe for any reason. It's a piece of cake withthe Y-pipe off (speaking
from experience with a snow-belt car that broke 3exhaust studs upon
removal!!).Ron Porter-----Original Message---!
