Is that still the first engine? Or what major parts did you have to replace till now, besides the usual wear and tear stuff like control arms?

Just Turned 600,000 kms (~372,000 miles)
Saw Ahlem's 400,000 mile milestone and was reminded of mine hitting 600,000 km last week.
Anyhow, still rollin along. New upper and lower control arms are waiting installation in the garage.

At ~ 500,000 it had low compression in #5. Engine ran great, good mileage etc., but used more oil than I was comfortable with (especially under vacuum). I was excited to take on the project and wanted to keep the car indefinitely, so I purchased a used short block, had it honed and new rings/bearing installed. Since then, its run beautifully and should go to 1,000,000Originally Posted by shogun

Just don't live in Michigan. Weather is hard on your car.

Even after you leave. Have a bit to touch up now but it seems to have stopped progressing.
