Here is a quote from jhbperformance.com "They have proven to last well over 10,000 hours in engines using our Cermet A coatings"...now i figured that out and its only 417 days...to me that doesnt sound very long for a seal to last if some people are pushing 250 000 original KMs(114 000 miles)...does this sound right ??? let me know with your opinions

416 & 2/3 days actually.

what you really need to understand in your statement is that nobody runs their car for 417 days straight. think logically for a minute. you probably drive your car at a max of 2 hours a day on a normal day. that will give your engine 5000 days of driveability, which is almost 14 years of driveability.

ok, im pretty sure that i would be plenty happy for driving my car 2 hours a day for 14 years. or you can drive yours for 417 days straight, whatever you wish i guess.

one last thing to add. that is a *PROVEN* 10,000 hours. your seals, depending on how well your engine is kept and driven etc...could easily last longer im sure.

just my .02, you are looking at it all wrong

10,000 hrs. x 55mph = 550,000 miles.

only thing is you probably dont drive an average of 55mph...you gotta add in all the idle time and times when you are goin thru town n' such. but i definately see where you are comin from...also...there are times when the car isnt even moving...

I bet that would still equate to over 200,000 miles.

oh im sure, those ceramic seals (im pretty sure thats what that guy is talking about) are proven to be alot better than the ones that came from the factory.
