T2 Engine Longevity
 

I might be purchasing a t2 with 120,000 miles on it. Supposing that it was properly maintained how long do you think before she gives out? Is there anything I can do to lengthen the life span of the engine? I know that these have been asked before, but I didnt find much when I searched. Thanks

i have a friend who has over 190,000miles on his 1987 turbo 2 on the original engine. of course mine is on at least #3 at 160,000. your mileage may vary

you can do reliability mods that will extend engine life such as radiator etc

Mine= 150k.

mines on 140k and change, turbo needs to be replaced within the next year id say since shes blows a lil smoke if ideled for a long time(5-10min) but hey, thats what e-bay is for

Big power (over 300hp) should last 100k miles.&nbsp Stock power motors should run to 150k miles easily.&nbsp The stock apex seals get really thin at 100k miles, so it's recommended to do proper rebuilds if going for more power.
