:shows 95,375. turns out, he said it's 295,375, one

Guess all depends on how you drive use it.
My results with a daily driver:
Fresh rebore needed reringing after 140,000
rerung again after another 80,000, yet again
rerung after 50,000, engine was still running
when pulled from Timshel but it had just gulped
three cases of oil from Troy, NY to Unity, Me.
Note:
My engines would most likly last longer if I wasn't
so harsh on them.
Bruce F.
