Mines has about 90K on the rebuild. Although I have no idea what seals were used. Probably OEM stuff again. I'll be rebuilding the engine soon though, but with Atkin seals.

looks like I'll go ahead with it then.... the car I'm looking at has 165,000 miles on it. I'm told that it runs, but smokes and makes metal sounds like a thrown rod... but there is no rod haha. Its at a dealer down the street from me... Said I could have it for $200, i think its a GTU... definatly an '88...
