Has anyone saved a catastrophic engine failure
 
Saved an engine? As in you heard, felt, or had a Zen like feeling something just wasn't not right and shut it down before there was a catastrophic engine failure.

Or are you like me and keep running the sh!t out of it till it blows up good so you can find the problem without a dought?

I dont think I ever saved one, but I ALWAYS have and ear out and MANY times shut engines down for no reason to just check everything out! I worry too much :lolhit:

I once had a premonition that a friend of mine was about to go for a wild ride while jumping waves from a large SeaRay..... :eek: :lolhit:

On the serious side, I really think i can feel when a drive is about to let loose. Ive kinda broken alot of them in the past year or so..... :angry-smiley-038: :drink:
