Hi gang,
I'm once more on the trail of a rust-free Westy with an automatic tranny.
It's an 86 with 190,000 km (118,000 Miles) on it. There are no service records
and the current owner has had it for a year. She had the crank seals redone. Why
would these go and is it a harbinger of something ominous?? It's 2.5 hours away
from me so I'm going to have to get a mechanic on Karl Bloss's list to check it
out for me. Assuming the worst and that this engine has never been touched am I
loking at a rebuild around this mileage??
TIA for your wisdom,
Doug Alcock
