you are taking a chance that all is well. Look at the iron wear, just think where it would be in another 4k miles.

I wonder if the iron is high due to many WOT runs

Does anyone else use Liquimoly in their engine? If so, what do you think of it?

himemsys, take care if it and it will take care of you. Changing fluids more often than the OEM recommends is vital. Like the man once said "you can pay me now or you can pay me later" Later is when it all falls apart. I still have the original un-rebuilt power steering pump, I attribute that...

Other than the rear main seal, I have had no problems with the "new" engine. I had a devil of a time trying to load the oil report from Blackstone, a good dinner and a couple of bottles of suds made all the difference.

I would have liked to tear the oil engine down, but it is long gone. At the last head gasket change, I noticed the pistons wiggled in the bores, so I think the rings were shot.

I have the timing belt, seals, tensioner and water pump every 60,000 miles or so. so that would make about 11 times i estimate.

you're right addguy, I don't know how many miles the engine had on it, so i am going to report the miles i put on it.

I have lost track, many tires! The Michelins i used over he years are no longer made. It is getting harder to find good 13" tires nowadays. I am using Hankook synergy st tires now. I rate them very good, almost as good as the Michelins were.

the original engine was changed at 649,000 miles
