How long can it go? 200 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be Scotty on  Wed Aug 19 01:58 CST 2015 [RELATED]

I have an '86 240 that has 360,000 miles on the original B230F. The motor is original top to bottom; the head has never been off it.

It doesn't pull as hard as it used to, but it still runs very well, gets decent mileage and passes smog.

I have no reason to think that it needs a rebuild, but at 360K, I have to wonder how much more life is left in the motor, and whether I should start budgeting for an overhaul (or a J/Y motor plus labor to install).
