So far the second motor is doing very well. I just have 1200 miles on it now and the last tank of fuel appears to have taken a big jump in fuel milage just looking at the guage. So I guess the rings are finally seating in on it. I will be going out to haul rock in a few minutes and I will fuel up today and check milage closer. I am almost half way to where the last one blew.
This one runs even better than the last one did.
This one was getting the same or slightly better milage before the rings seated that the last one did after they seated.
I was looking at all my milage data last week and noticed the fuel milage dropped off 3 MPG for the last 600 miles on the last motor right before it blew.
Well it is time for me to go get some rocks off.......my truck. Be on here later.

Sorry rancherman84....no email is showing up in my inbox....I have not had much time to get on here lately so it may be my inbox is to full to recieve them.
I get so much spam that it does not leave much room for the mail I want. I am only averaging 250 to 300 a day with about 20% actually email for me. I guess 15 years of the same email address is way to long, every spammer in the world has my address.

Muelzhog, I talked to my mechanic yesterday and Reviva did pay the swap for the second motor.
My fuel milage has jumped almost 2 MPG on the last tank so I guess the rings are starting to seat. When I fueled I had 1623 miles on the replacement motor now.
