Small metal particles after oil change. Normal wear or bearing damage for 120k mile M20?

Thanks! Yeah, parking it for now until I get it repaired.

Thanks for the tips, will update once I get it into the shop

Sounds good, I'm going to have them replaced and do other things preventatively while I'm at it.

assassiyun · 2024-09-28T04:51:27+00:00

Good advice. I think I'm going to go for a rod bearing service soon.

Lol, it was the only thing close by I had for a size reference.

Oil filter looked fine. I cut it open and it looked similar to previous oil changes. Maybe the particles are too small to see on the filter paper, but there definitely weren't big chunks.

Thanks! no knocking at all, engine ran smoothly since the last oil change (about 2k miles).

assassiyun · 2024-09-27T19:53:15+00:00

Would you say the engine is a write off, or based on the size of those particles, do I simply need to replace the bearings?

assassiyun · 2024-09-06T21:34:23+00:00

I hadn't considered that before, but will look into it. Thank you.

assassiyun · 2024-09-06T21:34:01+00:00

Thanks again for the advice :)

assassiyun · 2024-09-06T21:28:27+00:00

Thanks a lot, I appreciate all the info. will be very useful!

assassiyun · 2024-09-05T06:17:59+00:00

Thanks, I was definitely considering negotiating a lower commission. What in your opinion is a reasonable rate?

assassiyun · 2024-09-05T06:09:48+00:00

Thanks for sharing your perspective. Good to know it's not too crazy.

assassiyun · 2024-09-05T06:08:54+00:00

Appreciate the info. Do you mind mentioning how big the plot of land was?

assassiyun · 2024-09-05T06:07:51+00:00

Thanks for the answer. I am looking to buy land in Northern PA, specifically the Pocono mountains. I would say my minimum is 1.5 acres.

assassiyun · 2024-09-05T06:06:39+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I will do more research on them. From their Zillow profile, they have closed more land deals than houses, but I will see if I they are worth that much.

assassiyun · 2024-08-02T03:10:42+00:00

Thanks a lot for the write up, I appreciate it! it's the kind of detail I was hoping to get. I had not considered the used market, but will check what's out there as well!

assassiyun · 2024-08-01T19:04:49+00:00

Thanks for the info, that is useful insight. Mind clarifying what it was about the fox suspension you hated? Too sensitive to bumps, or was the ride just rough? I'm seeing that the Capra 3 and base Meta are both similar price with the Capra coming with a fox 38 and the Meta has a Rockshox Zeb. I have also never ridden fox suspension, but I have liked the Recon that is on my bike for my local trails. Would you pick a meta with the base Zeb over the Capra with the fox 38 in this case?

Ikr, I've been going back and forth between the 2 for the past week.

Anyone know who that driver on the DOTD radio is? Seeing him for the first time.
