Picked Up the Coach Today !
Hello Liz,

The coach did have a bad engine when we purchased
it however; we did not know it was bad. The previous
owner worked for 3 months getting it corrected...
we are very thankful for his honesty.

The 1st repair was made but, not completed correctly.
The hose from the aircleaner to the blower
was broken off & was sucking in road dirt. Old 1992
bearings were not replaced, but were charged for, the
engine was not cleaned before reassembly.
The engine was destroyed in 1600+ miles.

I drove the WL 100 miles and it blew @ 8qts. of oil,
plus when stopped a 4-5 foot pool of oil would be on
the ground. That is what caused us to take it to another
shop.
The first O/H cost $17,500 and the 2nd O/H $11,700.
It was paid for by the previous owner/1st shop.

It seems to have 20% more power and no more leaks. The
systems and instruments readings have improved. smiling &
smiling... these birds drive fantastic!
