I'm not rebuilding anything until it needs it. The inside of my engine hasn't been touched in 185,000+ miles now and is going strong. I want to be the first LT1 to go 1 million miles on factory stock internals.

well the original engine in mine went about 120k and i bought the car with a 135k and the thing already needed a serious tune up. I guess just don't have american engine installation do your engne. Guy I bought it from paid 5 grand for it and they reused all of the electric and didn't even replace the water pump for the guy.

yeah weeda, as i said before, sometimes things just happen and it will call for a rebuild. who knows how that car was driven to cause it to need a rebuild though. that's a risk you take when you buy a "sports car" haha. sounds like the guy got screwed royally by that shop that put the engine in. i'd have been mad if i were him.

greenarrow...million mile lt1 huh? that would be fantastic, lol. me? i got a different route i'm taking, haha. i guess me and you have to become friends for the next 30 years to see if you ever make that million miles, haha
