I have a newly installed SBT 951 DI 5 port cast fitting motor with less than 3 hours on it. The first time I ran it in the water, after a 5-10 minute run, the oil alarm came on and a few seconds later the oil tank blew a hole in it and all the oil leaked into the engine compartment. I had to get towed back to the landing. My mechanic that installed the motor said this was caused because the oil compressor failed and the engine's top end failed.
When my mechanic received the boat back from me after the oil tank exploded, he said he removed the engine and replaced the "pan" on the bottom of the engine. What would cause the oil tank to explode? Is this "pan" part of the SBT motor and why would it need replacing?
