    There's a guy on m5board with over 400k kilometers and counting. However I would consider that an extreme case and it was probably extremely well maintained and babied.

    Over the years I've seen a 210k S14, 290k S38b35 and 240k S38b36. All had never had the top end off. IIRC the S14 owner changed out bottom end bearings on a preventative basis around 150k simply because he flogs it all the time.

    Stout motors as long as they get run hard and often. Letting them sit is not good for them.

    I've got almost 163 on mine.
    PO did have some work done on the top end, but hoping to make it to at least 200-215k before I have to break out the checkbook.
