No not maintenance.

So what repair do you believe to be needed for
ironblocks to achieve 300,000 miles?




If it was a 1950 Chevy, rings and bearings about 3 or 4 times. Oh, at
least one or 2 valve jobs too.

I do know of two Toyota Celica that reached that mark. Engine ran great
but the body was pretty well rusted out. See through fenders for good
ventilation.

Then there was the Vega. I drove my brother's to California when he
moved cross country. It was never the same after that.
