PA I have searched But!!

I can not find,

How can you tell if your motor, has had an rebuild?

is there any way at all with out taken her apart?

the speedo cable broke I know over a your ago at around 155,000. ( last owner thought you had to take the dash out to fix)I have a new cable on her, and already in 2 months put her up to 160,000.

drove her up from Ga b4 I put the cable on, and it was a DD b4 I got her and has ben mine for a year also so I know there is well over 200,000 on her.

I got laid off a week ago, so money it tight at this point.

wow you put well over 45,000 miles on it in about a year!

I cant think of any way without taking something apart.

Why do you want to do this anyway? If it runs and you are broke, just keep driving it.

My Water Pump went out last weekend, and i know things happen in 3's

when I lived in Ga, My son has IgA nephropathy an autoimmune disease that affects the kidneys. and I drove him to the doc
I drove 125miles to get him, then 110miles to his doc, and turn around, and do it all over n 4 days, every 4 days.
thats 470 a round trip. hints all the miles. it suck driven' but our children are more then worth it. and not to say what that does to your bank..

Unless you see obvious signs of a rebuild such as: painted motor, unusually clean rotor housings ( if rebuild was with new housings ), or a receipt for the work done, then the chances are it has not been rebuilt. Some n/a's go 300k + miles if they are taken care off but at that point its risky because the seals can fall or roll out.
