[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 64993, member: 82"] I would have thought it would smoke a bit even with no load, but as it is locked up, i'd still think it's the problem. It must be allowing just enough air to get past the compressor to the engine to keep it running, but when under load, there just isn't enough air to keep making power. You should be able to spin it pretty easily. When running they sure do move fast, so they need to be free to spin. The main cause of destruction is when you run it hard and simply shut it down, it needs time to cool down or the oil burns up inside and damages the bearings/seals. Run it hard, but you need to let it sit at idle for a few minutes or at least drive it to the parking spot at a far reduced engine speed. [/QUOTE]
