Question My engine has 146k, will I need new(better used) housings for my rebuild ?

I have an s4 6 port na im getting rebuilt next month hopefully, Im wondering if my housings are going to be replaced or if i can still use them (if theyre in decent shape) ? They have 146k miles on them, Im not sure if the car ran before because i bought it not running...but with 146k on the housings, how long should i expect my rebuild to last before I will need another one ? I really dont want to get it rebuilt and have to rebuild it again soon because of my old housings...Thanks

If they pass the inspection spec tests, they should still be good. The only way to really know for sure is to open them and go through them meticiuosly. If youre having it rebuilt by someone, hopefully they check to make sure they are in spec and lets you know otherwise

Assume yes but still inspect them. If they turn out usable then kudos to you.
