Rods lasted 11+k miles and countless 200+ mph runs. Even after it split in half, the bores were still looking fresh. So I would guess around 30k miles

The liners are very hard wearing pistons likely to be worn out first,
Rebiuld would be just the normal pistons/valve giudes/lifters/bearings/oil pump/gaskets, and some other odds and sods and poss liners but unlikely but they could still be done for around that price.

Had we not stuffed 900+bhp up its ass with the Nitrous im sure it would have done 25k+ miles before a re-fresh, when someone else starts pushing this level of Power through a YB on a 30sec Topspeed run you will see just how strong that engine was.

Circa 60k IIRC mate, I'm positive Rod put a post up detailing what he'd spent on the car over the years!

Well took a good few hours to read but was worth it, some intresting stuff for once rather than just Bollocks the whole way through.

nice result with the power, all the best in November!
