Is this bogus or not?
I know that it can be bad for an engine to run too
leanand too hot but it is bogus to think carbon
monoxide is too low.   Has the  shop CO been breathing
too much CO or what.   If your engine is timed to
specifications and your 02 sensor is working I see
pass on my smog cerificate if the co levels are low
and hydocarbon emissions are normal.   bogus bogus
bogus  and gary

Subject: ENGINE FAILURE-could be caused by too lean
air-fuel mixture

A machine shop here in the San Fernando Valley says
that if the CO is
too
low like .01-.05....something really low like that,
you
run the  risk of too lean a fuel mixture, which could
cause the pH of
the
oil to become corrosive and hurt the
bearings.  He did not notice any thrown rods on the
2.1L, but he said
if
there was a lean FI
that the engines suffered from bearing failure,
cracked heads between
the
seats...

So make sure your CO ( carbon monoxide) on your
emissions is between
0.7
and 1.0..........

Malibu Tony    85' Westy   1.9L      finding out lots
of stuff about
the
motor and how to make it really last........anyone
have any 1.9L
bearings
or a complete 2.1L w/ all the hardware?
