I was talkign about Ford and Honda about 5-20.
Its amazing to me, that in the 21st century, that it is acceptable for a lubricated internal engine part to wear out in 60,000 miles.
I have personally rebuilt a Rover V8, did nothign special to it. It was fed rotella its whole life.....At about 90,000 I had a valve spring take a poo(Cracked). While Replacing it, and the intake gasket that was leaking, I used my handy run out gauge on the Cam...Very light wear marks, and on the higher side of spec for a new cam...I didnt meaure it when new, so that tolerance might have been there already. The lifters face showed no caving in.....Dont these engines eat cams? Hmmmmm.
Care to tell me why? Likely not, that would mean the uninformed would have to conceed they were wrong.... That just doesnt happen on this board.
But, I am dying to know... Why would you replace a engine with near perfect bearings? If the compression was in spec, and the bearigns near perfect......This sounds like a servicable engine. Why did you replace it?
