I had 185,000 with a little extra when i took out the 5sfe - and it was running fine, no drips, no burning oil. They're good engines, i was quite impressed and i've definately pushed the engine before.
Use synthetic oil, make sure u change it every 3,000. Do injector cleaner every once and a while. I started using 93 octane to extend life. Things evenutally going to wear out, but thats on every car, just take care of it it'll last as long as u want. Look at some of the Model A's and T's that FORD built way back in the 20's. It'll last as long as u wanna take care of it. This post has been edited by Supersprynt: May 27, 2003 - 1:07 PM -------------------- |
