Take care of it rightly, set the engine bay up properly, and treat it well, and it'll last a very long time.

RA seals -- I am curious how long the rotor housings will last with those.

I've had 116.5 from my 91 turbo (bought it new). If i can't figure out what to do about my leaky throttle, that might be about it.

i got 10k on my cosmo, filled with heavy abuse, 2 bad overheats, a 1500mile 3 day rally with ambient temps in the 90+'s where i drove the car for a day and a half stright and watched the oil pressure drop 10lbs by the time i parked it that night


still runs strong, just taking it apart to make it better?
