<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV> <P>I was driving down Interstate 5 heading due south, going about 80 mph, saw a gas station, decided to exit when at that moment the buzzer went on. Water temperature wasn't higher than the top of the led itself. I turned the engine off, and coasted down the road, into the denny's parking lot next to the gas station. Let it cool, let my mind run wild. Added more than half of a bottle of gunk. Wasn't low on any fluids. After a few hours, I started, it ran, and I drove 60/65 mph all the way to Riverside. No problems since then. Thinking is, oil got hot which made it thin out which caused the oil pressure to drop. It wasn't that hot that day. Is this just a day in the life, or is it an omen? <BR><BR></P></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>From: Bob Donalds <BOSTNENG@FCL-US.NET> <DIV></DIV>>Reply-To: Bob Donalds <BOSTNENG@FCL-US.NET> <DIV></DIV>>To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM <DIV></DIV>>Subject: Re: Main Engine Bearings <DIV></DIV>>Date: Thu, 2 May 2002 14:28:59 -0400 <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>I have just had 65 sets of 1.9 rear main bearings made in most common sizes <DIV></DIV>>I use the bug bearing for the other bearings same size.
