On rear mains and longevity 850

posted by  someone claiming to be yona on  Wed Feb 4 15:33 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I was procrastinating on taking out the bloody flame-trap for the past six months and guess what? The seal gave up the day I sold my other car, a japanese made suv. When I finally took the flametrap out, I found that it was completely blocked with a white foamy greasy gunk. What happened is that the extreme winter temperatures had caused the oil to gell thus blocking the tiny holes. TAKE THE FLAMETRAP OUT ESPECIALLY IN THE WINTER is what I recommend.

Anyways, at 95000 miles I face the unavoidable. For now, I will continue topping up and will get it done in the spring (ca 100k miles) together with clutch assembly. Must start saving money now...
