i had an 85 mazda 626 in which the rings went so a grand a bit went into reco-ing honing, blueprint etc.....

and the guys that did the work, put it back together ......sans airfilter element.. :shock:

i only noticed it after about 2 weeks (not sure why i was looking :) )

and we'd done a hell of a lot of dirt road driving (down to victor at one point) :shock:

company shall remain nameless :)

anton did you at least ask for the car if he wasnt doing anything with it


Manual mini's do the same thing, as the oil gets lower the gearchange gets more notchy and the synchros may start to catch :wink:

This would only apply to mini's as they're one of the few cars that use the same sump to lubricate the gearbox and motor as one, the cars mentioned here would have their own seperate transmission fluid...
