MY 4X4 IS JUST ABOUT TO DO 110.000 AND IT HAS NOT HAD A REBUILD (BLOWN UP) YET, AS IT HAS BEEN WELL LOOKED AFTER AND HAS THE OBVIOUS GROUP A HEAD GASKET AND ALL THE HEALTHY ENGINE MODS.

TELL ME IF THERE IS ANYONE OUT THERE WHO HAS A BIGEER MILLAGE ON THERE NONE ENGINE REBUILT (BLOWN UP) COSSIE AS I HAVE BEEN THINKING IS THERE ANY BIGGER THAN MINE FOR A WHILE AS THEY USUALLY HAVE A REBUILD AROUND 70.000 MILES, DONT THEY.

ALL COSSIE'S APPLY BY THE WAY.

MANY THANKS

 

mines at 148k but ive taken it off road for more grunt.it was running 350bhp for the last three years of that and hasnt missed a beat.and still a quiet engine too.oil every 3k and coolant ever 5k

 

Mines at 125k but is standard and untouched but i am doing the headgasket this winter cos it uses a lot of water now

 

ive got an invoice here for my 3dr showing it had a complete engine rebuild inc crank regrind before it's 1st service was due

 

My car - new on the 09/09/1991

10/01/1992 boost controller fitter

29/01/1992 new pistons required

 

Bullett & Dakar what was the oil consumption like on your engines?

Bullett has anything actully happend to your engine now and your specing it more or just for the fun of it?

Dakar what headgasket you running at the moment?

cheers

 

My 4x4's on 134,000 on original engine as far as I can tell. I did have the head reconditioned after my cambelt lost teeth, so I have 16 new valves, guides, etc... but the bottom end is definitely original.

Stage 1, showing around 250bhp on the rollers so I guess she's probably a little tired.

 

Mine is on 195.000 km and the only reason it not 230.000 km is that I have changed the headgasket and had some electrical problems the last 1˝ year.

oilconsumption is about 1 litre per. 1000 km.

the last 5 years it have had 300 bhp..It is 350+ now

 

cool shame about the invoice one were the pistons went on it on the first serrvice what a downer.
cheers for the reponse.
hope more replys are on the way

 

and the other on in 92 (paul RS)

 

Mine 91 4x4 done 115k with no probs, its now stg 3 and had a few probs with sensors and fuel pump and wiring but engine spot on, it not use much oil or water.

 

engine is still quiet as is wa when i boght her.its bnot had a rebuid just a grp a gasketto stop it popping th gaket at 23 psi. oil an water consumptiom are fine.i put about a litre n every 2 months if that.

no probs still just for fun.cant go more power with out upgrading pistons etc now

 

i just sold one with 164k on full service history .ran ok but little smokey , needs a rebuild now there were no bills for a build with it apart from servicing

 

Used about half a litre of oil in about 1 thousand miles and about a litre of water every time i took it out

 

My cossie is running standard bottom end. Its got about 108,000 mile on it. Ive got an invoice which is from 1999 and it had a top end(cylinder head) rebuild and fingers crossed its running ok. It uses a bit of oil but the coolent level never moves.Touch wood.

 

my sapph done 145k and only had a rebuild 10k ago,the paperwork shows its had a couple of headgaskets before but never any rebuild work.......... knowing my luck i will break it pretty soon though with the T4 ect on there now just gives me a reason to build a bigger spec`d engine pmsl
