a lot of the issues come when the coolant isn't flushed out of the motor properly. dump a quart down the valley and wash the coolant down into the pan, do an oil change and just run it idling for a bit, do another oil change, etc.

i find that most of the time these motors die because of a mistake made when working on them. otherwise they really are tanks.

yep, and i'm talking about a junk yeard engine with 150.000km too I bought my motor + gearbox for $2100 AUD last year... and thats the standard price for a motor + box combo. Prices are a little different over here

There is no coolant in my motor and oil pressure is at around 50 - 55 PSI idle and 60 at cruise. So it seems to be pretty healthy.... it has 170.000km on it which is roughly 110.000 miles.
