Whoever said yes, is slightly wrong. N/a's - assuming that's what you have, can last well over 200k miles if taken care of properly. I believe if you have a turbo, it doesn't last that long as n/as.... If it does, you're damn lucky AND have taken care of her properly!!

If the car runs great, even though it hit 100k then you really don't need a rebuild. No need too. I don't think you have anything to worry about... unless an apex seal goes, or something to that nature.

If it isn't broken, don't fix it.
