#78311, "Poll question: How many miles are on your original engine or did you have prior to rebuilding (lower end only)?"


          

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!

So now at 44 what the hell do I do?
