sugestions please

hey everyone i'm in need of some help here. i have a 1987 N/A FC with over 130,000 miles on the motor and i was wondering what would be the best thing to do to it because i was told that it needed a rebuild or a new motor. well i don't know anything about these motors so i was hoping you guys could give me some pointers. thanks for taking the time to read this...later

Don't fix it if it ain't broken!

But you can always perform maintenance tasks to keep it running in good condition.

Yeah don't even worry about it. The na's go for a long while. 130,000 is bearly breaking in on that motor, lol.

I 2nd the don't fix it until its broke, and when it does replace it for a turbo motor.
