Question Life of a rebuild???

Ok my rebuild has about 80k as of right now it has a mild streetport done and has 3mm apex seals and i know the oil control rings are going because it smokes at high rpms just wondering how much longer my engine has before i need another rebuild???

Cause if it dont have too much longer ima sell the car, i dont have time to get another rebuild and would like to get rid of it before it blows, and just today i saw a red s4 for sale and it only has 78k on the car, the interior is mint and exterior is mint, All stock and ima buy it and sell my car if the engine is gonna go.....

THanx for your advice in advance....

That's what happens when you use worn out housings over again. People wonder why rebuilds don't last as long, the damn housings wear!!!!!
