Well mine has done 275k and is still running sweet. uses no oil or water, no leaks and happily sits on the rev limiter.

is that with aftermarket headers and exhaust or completely stock motor and exhaust?

2.5" exhaust from cat back, standard otherwise exhaust was done at 250K approx

have some coby extractors at home waiting to go on and have to remove cat as well.

my wifes old escudo 5 dr had done 285 000 when we sold her 3 years ago... had 2 owners since then and still going strong .

biggest thing to kill these motors is the stock exhaust manifold, change to extractors asap and the zook motors are pretty good.

The Mistress spends all day on the rev limiter on club runs, dosnt seem to faze her too much.
