i started spraying my car at 110k and rebuilt the motor at 135k. (nothing wrong w/ it, just had extra $ and wanted to forge it)

was making 555/576tq on 150 shot, cam only at least 3 dozen bottles


just change your oil every 3k miles. if you get really worried, run a leak down test every now and then.

maintenance is KEY!

Stick a gauge in a spark plug hole, crank the motor, look at the gauge and it'll tell you the leak down.

165k, a few 200 hits, alot of 150. just change your oil and plugs every other oil change. i dont think the n20 causes engine failure(humor me), its usually something else like your fuel delivery that causes major damage
