Hi to everyone!

Just want to moan a bit - had to bring my S13 to the garage, because he was using too much oil. 2 litres since mid december!

Now the guys there assume it's the piston rings because the engine looks fine on the outside. So they have to disassemble the engine....

Fortunately i bought a warranty for used cars with the 200. The insurance covers the working time and 70% of the spare parts. I just hope they'll pay without making too much trouble.

As long as they don't charge you for all the work when it turns out to be blocked breathers..... http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/tongue.gif

hm, things are getting even worse. Piston rings defect plus damaged valves in 2nd cylinder. The garage recommended a replacement engine. Don't know if the insurance will cover that...
