Hi all whats to most miles your cosworth given you?

wonder whats the highest milage cosworth?? How long should they last?

 

And is it worth spending all that extra dosh to run it on synthetic every oil change rather than normal oil...

 

depends wether you want a car or an ornament!!!!
ur post tend to be quite negative on here stealth bomber,do u not like cossies?

 

If it wasn't, then ford wouldnt have specced synthetic oil

Neil.

 

117,000 on original engine, no rebuild as of yet, and still pulling strong...

 

Like what posts are you talking about?

 

um....your first one on this thread and the one where people said what cars they had raced and beaten in cossies.

 

If it starts everyday it's always a blessing.

 

130,000 odd 2wd saph at our club meet on weds night on original engine, the owner said it's getting a bit tired.

 

pmsl

 

Ive heard of them lasting upto 150k
Also heard of them fooking up at 60k

So how long is a piece of string

 

when i bought my 3dr it had 78K on the clock and the engin ehad been rebuilt 330 miles ago so still had to run it in.

 

Rossco's old chaps has done 190k and it's still standard

Take some beating i reckon.........even though it is standard and always has been....

 

Yep thats right 190k!!

I have got bills for the head being recontictioned and thats it, theres not even a bill saying it had a turbo, but i find that very hard to belive!

 

245k genuine milage on this car



But deffo not the original running gear.

 

What on the orignal engine??

 

Might be the original internals as the block was changed last year but I doubt it as they were in good condition when the engine was pulled apart and at that milage they would have been shagged.

 

106k and still going strong mine

and 400 miles of weekly abuse too

 

145000miles...stage 3 and still going strong....original engine (with better gaskets stud kits etc etc..)

 

my mates had done 147,000 before it blew up pretty good going i reckon

 

117,000 at present starting to smoke now though

 

so its poss for 161000?

hmmm....

 

Twice as long as it is from the end to the middle

 

161K

 

Ok cool, I hope my posts weren't misunderstood 'cos I'm not a negative guy but I genuinely want to know if it's worth shelling out loads more on synthetic...

 

That's a GREAT pic, shows a good 'ole debadged and sorted Saff giving it some, nice one

 

got plent more pics on photobucket if you wanna see them mate

please ignore all the other pointless shit thats on there though

 

my stage 1 saph was on 140k (40 of those mine) always run on castrol rs 10w60. now after someone smashed into it i'm using it for my next project which is being delivered on monday morning (well the shell that it)

 

Welll my cossie has made it to 130k on its original engine,turbo and gearbox !!!

But its time for re-build now, due to it smoking like a bitch !!!

Al.....

 

mane was at 137k when it blew....smoked a bit, but ran fine til then

 

Big Niges old Saff had done 179k when it was stripped to be rebuilt as a precautionary measure

 

not a cossie but my S2 has 113508 miles on it, all original



stripped for rebuild now tho

 

melted a piston at 101k but was smoking a bit and upon inspection it wouldnt have lasted much longer anyway, but my mates is up to 160k with just the odd headgasket to his knowlage

 

Bought mine at 105000 and didn't even get 1000 miles out of it before it was stripped due to a melted piston
