I was going around the internet reading various bits and came across this rundown: http://classiccarsforsale.squarespace.com/reviews/classic-sunbeam-reviews-alpine
While well-written, this is the part that concerns me:
“The most likely cause of problems with the 1725 engine fitted to the Series V is using an incorrect procedure for changing the oil and filter. Whatever you do, don’t change the oil while hot or remove the oil filter when the sump is empty as this will allow the remote oil pump to drain, leading to seized big end bearings.”
How true or accurate is this? I changed my oil two years ago hot and the 1725 so far *knocks on wood* is doing fine.
