For those which havent seen the beast, here are pictures of a 1984 Aspencade stator and rear engine. 24000 miles on the engine. Not a happy affair, especially considering the 4hours needed to fix it.
But!! We have found the cause
:clapper:I won't say what the cause is but can say:
"Keep the engine temps down, oil changed at 2000 mile intervals, keep it a little overfilled on motor oil and flush it regularly!!"
As was expected, its not actually the stators fault, nor is it really Hondas fault. Its not anyones "fault" - it just happened.
