My engine had 147,000 and was still truckin when I recently rebuilt it. I just didnt want to throw a seal into my turbos and have to rebuild them too, so I replaced it. You should edit your poll to accomodate higher mileage.

haha, i guess i could do that. the only reason was to get a feel for cars that might have gone OVER 100k miles. ill edit it though, cause that makes more sense.

paul

EDIT: oops, evidently i cant. if theres another way to do so, then let me know. . . well just make it as follows. for the area that states "60k" it should be the area below and until 80k, and for "100k", it should be anything over 100k to include 100k. how about that?

1st (original) motor on my last FD lasted 35k miles. Dealer receipt reads that reason for replacement was "low compression".
