What should someone expect out of a rebuilt motor assuming either stock or mild intake and exhaust mods only?
lets not get out of hand.

Thanks for pointing out my grammatical error Rivlee :eek:

Theres no reason why a rebuilt engine done right should'nt last as long or longer than the factory build.
A used block is already seasoned and preffered by big dog engine builders over a new block.
All the other parts have been heat cycled so many times that they are now dimensionaly stable.
The job just has to be done right, NO shortcuts!
 
You mean STOCK?

Are there any of those left? :p

Mine was still running strong from the factory (with only the water pump replaced) @ 96K. I didn't baby it :rolleyes: so I'd expect at least 100K if it's done properly.
