There's no *opinion* on a technical fact.
A properly working 1990 VRO pump will never show 50-1 usage.

Joe I think you've missed the point, a brand new 90 VRO should never have
been less than 50 to 1 even from the factory. OMC admit this by not selling
any replacement or even parts, but insisting any repairs take that engine to a
static 50 or 60 to 1.

In normal circumstances for something as serious as a defective oiling
design (admitted by OMC because they won't even replace the pump at it's
original rates) should have led to a recall, but not OMC & eventually even
though the market was booming people just got sick or their BS & they are no
more.

I totally agree that it *should* never have left the factory at less than
50-1, but the fact is they did.
In 1990 they were still being *designed* with 150-1 to 50-1 variable VRO.

My only beef is with your telling Mr. Diesel that his pump should be using
oil at a 50-1 ratio. In reality he would probably see around a 75-1 ratio.

We used to think you were totally full of crap, Karen, but then it was
explained to us that the crap only rose to your eyebrows, and the rest
of your head was filled with used toilet paper.
