How many miles has your LS1 gone without having to overhaul it? A little over a year ago I got my 2002 B4C with roughly 210,000 on it, and about a week before I picked it up, I posted a thread asking about using seafoam on an engine with 200,000+ miles on it. I got some helpful insight and ended up seafoaming my engine and had great results! The engine idled smoother, and sounded better. I was just re-reading my post and found an interesting question (especially since my car will turn over 250,000 by the end of this week), and after reading the "Official odometer/mileage thread" it made me wonder even more.
This is the quote from over a year ago

But with 200k+ already on the car....I don't know how much of its "high performance" will last. That raises another interesting question. How many miles has your LS1 or LT1 gone without having to overhaul it? Mine popped a little over 100k. I wasn't the owner then bought it after they completely overhauled it.

I have an 02' SS with 137k that still runs like new. No leaks and I hope to get to at least 200k before a rebuild. I put @ 30k miles a year on her a year so I a hoping for the best.
