Motor replacement

[Ldub]

Its neck and neck. deermagnet reported 267,561 on 4/12, ldub 266K and change four days earlier. Someone take a road trip and put it out of reach! haha.

The photo with 266K is mine from 3/25 that Ldub linked to as an example of how far we can go. So I put on 1160 miles in less than three weeks, and it's not even my big driving season yet.

No wonder I burn thru tires so fast.

Sorry...

I thought it was made clear, that I was using Marks VX (in the speedo pic) as an example of what maintenance as "near religion" can yield...

With big tire disease factored in, (been roll'n 33's or larger, for more than 1/2 the time I've owned her) I'd guess that I'm due for a timing belt this summer...

There was information coming from Australia (Holden uses the same 3.5L V6) that there could have been bad catalytic converters, much like Nissan had, that would deteriorate and score the cylinder walls.

had that problem with the MR2 Spyders also with the cats, lost one of my motors that way.
