Re: Engine Bearing Failure

Just sent Matt a text explaining his issue may have been cold oil. He told me the outside temp was -2 C. Remember he is not using a thermostate so the engine would remain cold. What I said to Matt was I have seen other engine have oil problems in cold weather.

The good book says below 0C to use 5W 30 oil.

This is of course is just a suggestion.
