Why is this so amazing? These motors arent that un-reliable when they are cared for and close to stock. My FD's motor was still running strong at 147,000k before I decided to do a rebuild before something went.

1992 Jeep Wrangler- Bought at 92k miles, now at 178k miles

in the past 5 years I have driven.......145k+144k+86k+7k

that makes 382,000 miles in the past 5 years! sadly most of those miles are work related(except for the 7),

On average(during the summer at least) I do about 400-600miles per day, during the winter its about 100miles a day. I'm so sick of driving, but not w/ the 7 for some reason!
READ the title, rotary miles. We don't care about fords or jeeps!
