Re: Engine seized 2 miles after rebuild

Merc, I get it, the plug was in and you did not know it. But, what I am asking is, did you have the oil filter on the engine when it seized? If you did, was it set up for the stock configuration? ...

Re: Engine seized 2 miles after rebuild

Re: Engine seized 2 miles after rebuild
