I was wondering what the typical lifespan of our engines were, I plan on keeping this car for 20 years at least and will even go for a rebuild once the engine gets close to the max... anyone planning the same thing and know the lifespan of our engines?

 

if my car ever dies then it will be rebuilt. if for some reason it cant be fixed then i will put it in the heated gearge . il never let go. lol no mater what.

 

Most tuned 16G powered DSM motors last for $120k of VERY hard driving. And the EVO motor is much more stout.

 

20 years??? You just got the 9, enjoy it and worry about the 20 year rebuild later

 

Why don't you marry it then?

 

Its a 4g63 it will last just as long as the normal 4g63s last.
