xt2005bonbon Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Yup, pulled the right side screen. Turbo didnt grenade but it was out of spec. It could probably run for longer but how long I dont know and dont want to risk. I presume the previous owner didnt change the oil regularly enough but then again journal bearings do wear. Good job for catching this before serious disaster.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
