What I wonder is, u rolling it over every couple of months , have you lost the oil film on the bearings over the last 5 yrs. ? U should be pre lubing it every few times , I would think.
I put oil in pan and primed oil pump with drill and rod. Don't know about your guys but I have done this before. I might be only almost 50 yrs old, but I have been around the block with Mopar and Mech. work.
That's why I am doing most of the work myself, as I CAN DO IT ! Plus it will save me Tens of thousands !
Now shipping to Calif. is @ $1200. and @ $1000 more to east coast. give or take an extra $1000 for all the extras. So what's $3000. for shipping cost ,for a car like that.
I would be happy to take it out of my end if we come to a fair price. Mahalo C
