and i personally know of one at 250k that was on the way, one at 140k that develpoped such serious internal corrosion it had to be scrapped, on with 150k that wouldne hold water...one with 150k that eats oil like it lives in iraq...

i have also known bricks with in excess of 500k miles...like i said some are good, some are bad, most are average...

all of the above in my family, all similarly maintained as far as i know...

look at the tales of people with prv engines at 500k...but MOST were lucky to reach 150...and that a notoriously 'bad' engine

i think there is some serious BS talked about blocks here, basically ANY half decent engine superbly maintained should make huge miles, any engine badly maintained will fail early, 'interference' engines are no different to 'non interference' in this respect....
