Thumbs up 176k

Nothing big, just passed the 175k & am aiming for 200k. Passed CA. smog so I have two more years to relax. Have a little coolant leak otherwise pretty good car. Anyone else over 175K? I'll probably have to rebuild before that but who knows?....

I'm just over 181k... but I was told it was rebuilt around 138k... but there was no paperwork to back it up and I'm unsure if I trust what the guy claims was done to the car.

Little coolant leak at the rad? Water pump?

That's about the range compression started falling on mine. At that point, only things that had failed were the oil cooler hoses and the water pump on my car. Decided to rebuild at 186K, even though she still had almost 90 psi compression. The loss of power from about 175K to 185K was noticeable...

Now is the time to start deciding on what you're going to do for the rebuild, so you can start collecting the parts and kits necessary (or start saving for someone else to do it for you).

No compression test as of yet. I DO notice a slight hicup in acceleration above the 6k rpm range. The reason I noticed the coolant leak is when I chaged the oil. I noticed a little green stuff mixed in and yes this is an N/A vert. I'm taking it easy around town & on the freeway.
