Inuvik,
. . . . Possible but I don't think so. Remember that at 200F 50 weight oil pours like water. When I tow I change the oil every 3K miles. When I change the oil at 7.5K miles the oil is just a dark brown color. The engine doesn't make any abnormal noises. The compression just falls off. These engines do not have sleeves. The aluminum surface is treated to harden the cylinder walls and to provide a wear surface. This surface is only a few thousands of an inch thick and once you wear through it bye bye engine!
GOD Bless and Thanks,
rich!
