Seem to remember the general rule was 1,000 to 1,500 hours before a rebuild. That must have been a "rule" made when engines were still "detroit iron". Once the Japs showed us you can make a better engine, all of them will run many thousands of hours. My Yamamerc 60 had over 3000 on it with no indication it was in need of anything. I got rid of it because of all of the other $200-500 screw on parts that were nearing end of life. |
