Engine Swap
Leroy:
If the engine has been maintained properly and continues so, it should outlast your ownership. That engine is just now broken in. R.E. (Ron) Marabito, Dallas, tX 92WB40 --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Leroy Eckert" > > > Ron-- > Appreciate the information and forum history. My 8v92 is in fabulous shape, ( I think), it runs dry, doesn't overheat, doesn't sling oil and doesn't drop oil from the slobber tubes. It uses about a quart of oil each 1000 miles. That should be OK for an 8v92 with 110,000 miles. Sometimes I wonder if it has oil in the pan. I don't know, maybe it is getting ready to go boom. I hope not. I just thought a new high tech engine would be a reasonable upgrade. I think I better leave the 8v92 alone. > > Thanks again, > > Leroy Eckert > 1990 WB-40 > Niceville, FL. > > > > > > > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: ronmarabito2002 > To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Thursday, July 06, 2006 7:22 PM > Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Re: Engine Swap > > > You might find a Cummins that will work.
