 '78 SC engine rebuild question Hey, I'm thinking about buying a 1978 SC, and the add says that the engine was rebuild 8,000 miles ago.  Car is from Oxnard, CA with 157k miles on it, new paint and all... I think its pretty as heck!  <ahem>  ...anyway, I currently own a 2001 Boxster S and was wondering if I should change the oil in the carrera as soon as i get it, and on the same or on a similar schedule as the Boxster S?  I know old flat-sixes leak a bit so I just wanted to ask :D  thanks a lot! Merry christmas- Chris http://forums.pelicanparts.com/suppo...s/beerchug.gif |

 Wow, nice color.  Changing the oil now to me would be a good idea. You can look for shavings(god forbid) and possibly spot any other potential projects. | 
| 
 ah, the metal burrs :)  yeap, ill probably just go buy the oil first... *grabs jack and stands* lolSmileWavy |

 Just make sure it wasn't rebuilt by Motormeister! -Andy |

 eww... i talked to the owner, one Bryan of Oxnard, CA, he said that the car's engine was rebuilt in hawaii, so im pretty sure it wasnt motormeister! :D im excited, is this car going to be a good investment? i sure hope so... chris:cool: |

 Wonder who in Hawaii built it, I'd be interested to find out. | 
| 
 Nice color. Fun car yes investment....no. | 
| 
 "Rebuilt" is a term that can have many meanings. | 
| 
 Send a sample of the current oil to Blackstone. For $20 they can tell you if there is any abnormal amounts of wear metal, if the car has blowby, and a few other things. |

 Seriously cute car! Maybe get one of the LA guys like Dave at TRE to do a PPI for broken head studs or Hawaii style rust. That way you can enjoy it with confidence. |
