supramacist... props for actually understanding the question... I'm still not entirely sure I do.


If you're asking for common causes of failure for the 7M it's usually moisture in the oil (typically due to coolant contamination from a blown head gasket as supramacist said) or oil starvation. Hard turns (doing doughnuts), hard stopping and/or high revving while low on oil can all starve the bottom end.
