What are the symptoms of serious engine wear? At what stage do these indicate the need for an engine overhaul? Joseph
Your engine is wearing out—to an infinitesimally small degree—every time you use it, from day one. On a car of good quality, treated with diligence and respect, the wear will be progressive but so slight that the engine will perform adequately for tens of thousands—even hundreds of thousands—of kilometres before an overhaul is needed.
