Mine has about 100k and still runs strong, except for the lifter tick, but that is common.

175,000 + on mine and runs like a champ. These motors run forever if you take care of them.

If taken care of and well maintained, it's easily possible to get 200k out of one. If you run them hard, use cheap oil/don't change it often enough, that can be dramatically lower.

My new motor has 3K, installed by the previous owner, but the odometer shows 185K. I'd have to say that the first one lasted 182K!

The 2.5 in my 94 had 217,000 km on it , before the last rebuild. It was owned by an idiot and way beyond needing a rebuild , I'm surprised it didn't explode.
These are a great little engine though , no regrets about owning one.

My 89 has 148K miles on it now. Apart from normaly replaced parts, very few problems and it runs great. Even better now that I had the fuel pump replaced.
