all my sr20's other then my current turbo motor have had 130k at least on them since the day i got them. they always ran awesome. my current daily driver has 230k on it and it runs like a dream. take care of them and they will stay together for a LONG time.

ohh and by the way get rid of those plugs. brk6s' should suit you perfectly.

stratton.

I just worry to much I guess,, it's nice to hear about you guys getting alot of miles out of these motors,,, and I'm taking your advice on the plugs,,, changing tomorrow

whats the compression look like? as long as all 4 are close to even everything should be fine, im sure a tune up wouldnt hurt.. an i've heard some good things about that seafoam stuff.. i think our biggest problems on these engines is rod bearings an cam wear.. both engnies i've seen that had rod knocks also had bad cam wear.. so as long as u keep up on the crank / rod bearings an make sure u have good cams an such an the compression is even.. theres not really much else to worry about.. oh except those pesky timing chain tensioners lol
