I should add that many GMs show high wear metals in the first 20-30k miles and then stabilize and are as low as those of Toyotas engines.
Let's not forget one of the best, if not the best UOA in this site came from a Neon and an OCI of 12k miles, which showed virtually no wear at all. So, assuming TS's ecuation, this engine should last upwards of a million miles.
Honda engines show wear metals (specifically copper) EQUAL to GM engines despite being MUCH SMALLER! I don't see a lot of people bashing Honda though.
Patman started a thread for vehicles with more than 150k miles without rebuilds and lots and lots of people posted about their Detroit cars in excess of 200k miles and still running strong. There was even a mention about a Corvette with 317k miles, but you and John Browning choose to ignore the facts.
JB even suggested that the mileage on that Corvette is a FLUKE! He still has not answered my reply to such irresponsible statement.
I believe Toyota and Honda engines are generally better quality....but to ignore the fact that the big three have mass produced engines such as the Chrysler slant 6, the Ford 5.0, the Chevy 350 and 3.8L is outright and flat out injustice!
You pulled a "Howard Dean" on me.....I pulled an "O'Reilly" on you!

PS: Looking forward to your comments as well as JB's!
