i'm up near 8000 miles, never so much as re-ringed. honed after porting and put all the factory parts back in. she's getting a bit rattley, but still runs very strong, 32 with stock pullies. just keep good oil in it, make sure your air/fuel mix is right, and they run for a LONG time :mrgreen:

When it doesn't have enough compression to run.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.
