Replaced! mine was starting to use more and more oil.Quart every 500 miles.I didn't want to try to go to Moab with it like that.:eek:Quote:

Heck, maybe I should start looking for a new engine. Mine has lost about a half quart of oil per tank (+/-350 miles, so that would be a quart every 600-700 miles) since I bought it with 35,000 miles on it. It's got about 80,000 on it now but there's been no change in oil consumption.
$1500 Just two days. I found a great mechanic. Hardly anybody wanted to do it.Quote:

PS apparently THE motor is NOT the same as a Trooper motor.
Merlin said they were same,but I had two different motor distributors say they were different and would NOT sell me a Trooper motor:confused:
as long as you keep oil in it...its ok to lose some...you may want to have your motor worked on a little in the future so it doesnt cost you as much in oil prices lol...Quote:

At least I have my other VX with engine that barely used any oil because the current VX burns almost a quart every 500miles.....added lucas oil with last royal purple oil change......nothing was as good as my original VX...ughhh
New(to me) motor installed,purring like a kitten.
When my mechanic first put it in,He called me saying it was bad and making all kinds of noise:eek: I called the place where I bought it.The guy said just drive it for 50 miles or so and it would SETTLE in:rolleyes:
He was right.I guess when they have been sitting on a shelf with no oil for months,they get kinda stiff.
Now to see if it's an oil burner also:( Stay tuned
I heard you should store engine with oil in it, thats what I am doing with my RIP one....Quote:

That's what I would think,but gas goes bad,so oil probably does too.Quote:
