Hey Kerry,
I'll be really interested in what you decide. We might be
in the same boat -- a very worrying knock suddenly started on our
trip this week, and there are some silver, non-metallic flakes
in the oil filter. Just sent an oil sample off to Blackstone,
so we'll see.
I'm thinking if it's serious, I could probably just manage
swapping the engine if I take it really slow. Not likely that
I can do anything in terms of refreshing or rebuilding on my own
though since I have zero experience there. The cost of an
S&J engine wouldn't go far at Bay Area mechanic rates,
so it's an attractive option. S&J says it includes everything
except the air cleaner, ignition, valve covers, timing cover,
intake manifold, and oil pan.
The other thought is to steal the engine from our 23' yard ornament
coach, which leaks oil but runs great. That would leave us with a gutted
dead coach to deal with though, and we don't know the history of that engine.
And then there's the question of taking just the engine or the
whole front clip. A lot to think about.
Anyway, good luck, and please let us know how it goes.
thanks
