This motor was not abused, just run normal. Hauled snowmobiles on trailer twice, and car trailer to Pa. Ohio line 1 time with car on it going out, then hauled our blazer home, with it. Other than that it was just used to run errands, never run on a day to day basis. This motor has used water from the time we had got it from the company. We could never figure out where the water was going until we were on our way home from Ohio, while stopped at a red light smoke was coming into window and we could smell antifreeze, at that time we put 2 and 2 together, it has smoked white from the time we had got this motor, but didn't think about having a head gasket broke, or cracked head, as it was supposed to have been new. I would think that warranty coverage should still be good, as it was year unlimited mileage for it. Guess we will probably get screwed on this deal. Seems like no body ever wants to stand up to there word anymore.
