- Ditto for the 81 mustang 4.2 liter. I was very concerned
- after draining only 1/2 to 1 quart. (I saw the front plug
- first.) "What!!!! I check the oil regularly, and it has
- never been more than 1/2 quart low!!!!
-
- BTW, has anyone else had their 4.2 liter engine eat main
- bearings for lunch? I had to replace mine every 30-35K
- miles (symptom - low oil pressure). Cause: bad line boring
- (crankshaft bearings don't line up).
