You've got to be a little more specific. How high is high? How big of a shot are you thinking? How well has the car been maintained?

Now its going to get into what condition that high mileage motor is in..
there are high mileage motors that have been babied.. and the ones that have been beaten.... If its been beaten and needs maint. right now on misc. stuff.. then I would be careful..

If its been babied, then you will probably have no problems..

But I do believe there are quite a few guys on here that are spraying 100k + motors..

Just to give you a reference...we did a dual stage 225 shot on a high mileage stock bottom end about 2-3 years ago. At the time he had right around 13X,XXX miles on the car. I literally just saw him the other week at the track and the car is still running great.

I suggest doing a quick compression test to verify the engine is in good condition. If everything checks out good, spray away.
