i guess it all depends on how u treat it...if you beat the crap out it constantly, it wont last as long...if it's taken care of and maintained (oil changes, etc), it's a pretty strong engine

IMPORTFORLIFE. <BR> I think you have this high milage in the bag with nearly 320 km. I have to know if you ever fixed that awful tick coming from the cams? and if not how bad has it gotten?
