The strainer is plastic and 25 years old. I don't think it would take the finger of God.

If something is inside the crankcase that hits it, you already had huge damage. I'm just not sure what would break it. Perhaps this is me in "Dad mode" with 2 young kids at home, but in my house nothing in good shape just breaks via the finger of God. Despite all claims by the kids, some-thing or some-one broke it. Same thing here as I see it. ________________________________ [moderator snip] To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
