I've told this story before but I'll tell it again. A neighbor bought a new 1086 in the fall of 1978. I bought a new 1086 on Jan 31 of 1979. Both of us take good care of our machinery, meaning we don't abuse it. The only difference is he was sucked into Amsoil hook line and sinker, abiding by their extended oil changes. I used regular oil from my IH dealer and changed oil and filter every 100 hours. At 5000 hours both of us did an overhaul, new P&S, valve job, bearings, etc. He replaced the oil pump, I did not. Mine was drinking oil like there was no tomorrow because of defective sleeves. I didn't know there was a recall on those sleeves till a year after I did the overhaul, the dealer kept quiet about it. The neighbor might have had the defective sleeves too but I can't verify it.
We ran similar hours and both of us did an overhaul at 10,000 hours. His oil press was dropping, mine was dropping too. I overhauled mine to freshen it up as it was my main horse. The main reason for my oil pressure drop was the oil pump. His second oil pump was worn out, he had to have the crank turned 10 and his cam was beyond tolerances. My original factory oil pump was worn out but it had 5000 more hours than his, the crank was still shiny as a mirror and at the original factory measurements The cam was about 2/3 on the way to replacement by using a dial indicator measuring the lift. Now my 1086 has 17000 hours, or 7000 hours on the last overhaul. The oil pressure is still right up there and it might use a quart of oil per 100 hour oil change. However, it doesn't see hard field use anymore. Nuff said!
