Re: [DML] Turbos - bad wrap. What's UP!!

[Marc Levy <malevy_nj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Qualified, because you own one??  I own one too..  LOL

So, do me a favor..  Start the car up, and with the
engine running remove the "Oil Filler Assembly"
(102415) and see if you have pressure in the crank
case.  You can probably see it with your eyes, but you
can also use your hand to feel.  Please answer
honestly.

Also, where do you live?  I suspect altitude has a lot
to do with the reliability of the turbos.

I will let you know when I list the engine on Ebay. 
Still not sure if I want to sell the whole engine, or
just the turbo kit..  BTW, why do you need a spare if
yours is so reliable?
