320,000 miles.
I rebuilt the engine back in 2007/2008 (another head gasket issue), and I decided to pull the engine and get it rebuilt anyway. It had about 160,000 on it then.
engine rebuilder said it looked great internally.
As far as compression was concerned, It read 115 psi on cylinder #2, and 137 to 145 psi on the other cylinders. So low on cylinder #2. Since I couldn't find anything else wrong with it, thermostat, temp sending unit, gauge, gauge wiring, fan, fan shroud, water pump, radiator, etc. I looked at the head and head gasket.
I like my three row radiator as opposed to the new two row radiator that I bought, so I took it to my neighborhood radiator shop and they rodded it out, found a small leak, repaired it, painted it and it is good to go.
I had to order new exhaust valve guides for my cylinder head job so I'm waiting for those to arrive before the head can be completed.
They haven't yet quoted me a price to rebuild the engine, so I may not at this time. I remember pulling my engine and delivering it to the machine shop/rebuilder in 2007/2008. Fairly easy to pull the engine/transmission. gave away my engine hoist, so if I decide to do it, I will go to harbor freight and buy an inexpensive one.
However, I do remember that it was a serious PITA to get that engine/transmission back in the car. it took three of us. One to remove it and three to get it back in.
I may do it anyway, since pretty much everything is off the car right now.
I'll let you know.
