 :P yeah 146,000km per engine is some sort of achievement  :-X

"Bill rocked the original 3.0L Turbo Carrera engine, rebuilt it after 10 years, then drove it hard another 10 years. The car got a repaint at that time. The 3.0L was retired and shelved, made way for a 3.3L. Moderate upgrades along the way including a Garretson 3.0L intercooler, headers and a bigger turbo. Many years later it's time for another rebuild. Two bad engine builds later, he locates a shop in his native Canada that does a decent job rebuilding it and converting to EFI"

I made it either five or three (if you don't count the unsatisfactory ones) rebuilds and that would mean averages of at least 200k kms or 333k kms between them.
