$10,000: fix or sell?

[Markus Meyer]

The coolant lines are a huge liability, especially the one to the compressor. When I bought my 86 earlier this year, even though it came with records of work done, I had them replaced, and good thing too - as they crumbled when touched. Ticking time bomb. Guess the fleet buses get serviced so often and driven so much this isn't an issue for them. But with our RVs, which sit a lot, age is more of a killer than mileage.

Greg, There should be a way to prevent these engines from overheating. They are just too expensive to repair. One thing I have read is if you blow a coolant line and it starts to overheat you can pump in a gallon of oil from the bulk oil fill tank and possibly save the engine. But this oveheating needs to be addressed. Who can afford 20Kplus to rebuild?
