Re: engines?
If it's running well and has good components (like premium rods) then 300 runs should be ok. Lots of variables like radical cams and RPM range but 200 runs would be the minimum you could expect to get out of it.

Re: engines?

Re: engines?
If it has steel rods then 300-400 should be fine.
