[QUOTE="Lee36328, post: 460078, member: 113"] Hi dvng, Quite a milestone, eh? Hope you enjoy your new engine as much as the previous one. Just to share my experience which runs contrary to this, I rebuilt my engine some time back, probably documented in this thread. It was quite a deep job, not quite a full overhaul, but approaching there. Mileage at that time was somewhere around 200k km. Since then, it has been running fine. The mileage now is approach 400k km. Oil consumption... well, in between oil service (20-30k km), the oil level hardly changes. Top speed is unaffected, 220-230 kph (depends on slope, wind, and the amount of junk in my trunk, :smokin:.) If anything, it pulls well and my gearbox is finding it hard to keep up. The gearbox is due for it's 3rd overhaul soon. So, it is true that the aluminum engine is not as malleable as the steel block for overhaul. However, it can be done as my case shows. [/QUOTE]
