Why the rebuilds?

[Gregory OConnor]

Pete, with oilsampling, you and Ron are surly in a more informative
position then I. The problem with the information is Trends prove need
for major service or repair that add too much pressure for $ action or
caution for use. Newer Cat products have identifiers in various
bearings that allow oil contents to define what bearing is wearing out.
Without that pinpoint of issue, the information more or less says "UTT
OH, time to replace everything"
Antifreeze in the oil is an informative find but the chance that you
will find that the headgasket just started to leak prior to your 10,000
mile oilchange is slim.

They say the first signs of aging is grey hair. Bald, I never acted to
correct the issue until I was old enough to realize any vain attemt
would be invain.
