engine question

Hi lads,

Just want to know, how long GT engines are good for? I've nearly 200,000km on mine now


Cheers

124,000miles.

Has it been apart?

124,000miles.

Has it been apart?

Don't know, just got it a few weeks ago, so will the engine pack up at 124,000 miles or what will happen?

What then - re-build time?

dont worry just as yet!

No one can tell you when your engine will die some run on for longer than others.

Only one way to find out, but many have had alot more miles than yourshas.

What should I look out for?

Thanks a lot man, much appreciated!!!

Had a quick flick through, not much sign of any rattling, smoke or stalling with mine, infact it seems to pull well through all the gears, I can feel the turbo kickin in and there don't appear to be any leaks around the block or anythin.

Anythin else I should keep my eye on?

Oh really, that's good to hear, I've heard before alright about the GT engines are supposed to be very good if you look after em, unlike some nissan engines that seem to give fierce trouble!!

Thanks a lot bud, good to hear that, was just thinkin that they will all pack up past a certain range (thougth I might be getting very close to it!!!)

providing you leave them standard and service reguarly, they easily do 200,000's miles.


when you start modifying reliability does tend to start to wonder,
