    Hi friends, I heard an urban legend:

    Have You to rebuild or similar, an engine up to 100.000 kms? Is it true?

    As much a big maintenance, isn´t it? How much will cost in a official leader?

    I´m speaking about a 355 manual, thanks in advance

    My son has a car (Toyota) that has done over 340 km's and it still goes amazingly well.

    If it aren't broke don't fix it!

    My 1984 Audi quattro had an engine rebuild at 184000 miles, when stripped it was on original pistons.
    I've now got it up to 240000miles and still pulls like a train !!

    1994 Honda Accord with 300,000 miles. All original. Only done the clutch, rear main seal, brakes, timing belt and usual maintenance. Original alternator, fuel pump, etc. Only things I have changed out was the starter and the speedometer. LOL. Ya, I guess the speedometers die in these sometimes. Still runs great though.
