78311, How many miles are on your original engine or did you have prior to rebuilding (lower end only)?
Posted by OldGuy, Jul-31-04 09:37 AM
I have just over 136K on my engine now. I had to replace a piston/rod at 104 due to bending the rod. Luckily it didn't do any damage to the block or other components. After seeing a post of 150K+ I was wondering... So why not have a poll?

Keep the posts comin' folks! MAYBE we can spot a trend. And under 30K?!? Reminds me of a Slomaro I had. Crapped a brand new block in 14K!

151000 miles on the original block. I swapped my head for a 90k'er. I still have between 175-180 psi in each cylinder dry.
