oil circulation

Postby groupagt4 » Mon Apr 23, 2007 6:13 pm

got a cb60 charade turbo motor.have run it for about 20min and boosted a few times but the oil colour doesnt seem to change much.its still pretty golden just a little bit dirtier does this mean its jus a clean running motor or is the oil not circulating.Would it have seized by now if it wasnt circulating

Unless the vehicle never had an oil change in 275,000 kms, then you never get the bastard clean :(

But yeah, those engines are pretty temperamental aren't they? So if the oil wasnt moving it would be pretty well fuggered by now.

As chopper would say, "$&#$% Bang!"
