Just finished a rebuild at 114,000. Everybody says they can't believe I took it that far without a rebuild. Lucky I guess.

Just goes to show you that it can be done.

Got mine to 115k before the water seals crapped out on me. The record in the club here is held by a guy who had 140+k before his son totaled it...

Thumbs up
71,000+ miles, original motor & turbos. 10-8-10 boost pattern, a little more in cooler weather. 16-18 lbs. vacuum (depends on AC). Downpipe, hose job, home-made cold air duct for stock air box and metal intake manifold gaskets. Pettit AST on the way, stock one finally started leaking (in, not out!).

Talking Almost a record?
125K on original engine, no rebuild - completely stock. Compressoin is even at 110psi and great boost. I just bought it from a very responsible owner (one only).

Original radiator just popped, so I'm replacing it with a Fluidyne.

Just replaced the primary fuel injectors (they were leaking fuel on the engine!).
Because we were in there:
-Replaced the pulsation damper
-Did the silicon vacuum hose job

Need to:
-Replace a motor mount
-Install a new oil pan gasket
-Replace a rear bushing
-Replace the original shocks
